Windows XP - Control Panel

http://www.learningcomputer.com

In this video, we cover Windows XP Control Panel. Here are some the main topics we discuss: Using Appearance tab, change display settings for start menu, screen saver and resolution, switch between classic window and XP layout, change the folder options. For Network and Internet configuration, review properties of my Wireless network. An important feature in Control Panel is to add and remove programs including window components. Next we discuss the Performance and Maintenance tab.

@4r7m1r Hi there, Not sure what you are trying to do. When you have the desktop, you should see options like New, Display, Personalize..Do you see those? Also if you have icons, can you right click and select Properties? Lmk

@4r7m1r Nice video, yeah that is strange.

Research online, here is a possibility from theeldergeek dot bom

To restore the Desktop tab: Open Group Policy Editor by typing "gpedit.msc" in the Open: line of Run on the Start Menu.

Group Policy Editor Navigate to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer In the right pane, double click on Turn On Classic Shell Set the radio button to Not Configured then click OK
