In start menu Contgrol Panel has been deleted, how do I get it back?

If you have turned the Control Panel option off in the first level of the
Start Menu, then you can turn it back using the registry tweaking script at
this site (first one in the list):

ogirehp:

Don't know about getting it back onto the Start menu but Control Panel
appears in the left pane of a Windows Explorer window and in "My
Computer". You can also create a desktop shortcut to it by entering
"C:\Windows\control.exe" as the command line.

If the file does not exist you may have to reinstall it from the CD
but I don't know how you would do this.

You used to fix it by downloading and running fixnocontrolpanel.vbs.
Unfortunately, MVP Doug Knox has long since removed this and other Win98
fixes from his terrific website. As a public service, albeit for a small
public, someone should get a hold of him and repost them somewhere. JMHO.

Copy and paste the above into a notepad document, and save it as
fixnocontrolpanel.vbs file. At that point you should be able to
double click it and the magic will happen? Watch out for word wrap...
