VIEWING ALL CONTROL PANEL ICONS IN WINME
In another attempt, I suppose, to make Windows
Millenium Edition less confusing to new users, the
default for Control Panel is not to show all the icons
that you would see under an earlier version of Windows,
but instead "only the most common ones."
(Whatever that means. I didn't note down which ones were
visible when I first got my computer with WinME on it,
and I can find no documentation on what they are.) I only
knew that I was missing several of them, so I took a look
around on the View tab of Folder Options in the Control
Panel window, and I found what you need to put a check
mark next to in order to see all of them: on the View tab
of the Folder Options window, put a check mark by
"Display all Control Panel options and all folder
contents."
