Removal of an icon from the control panel

01-01-2009

Does anyone know how to remove an icon from the control panel. I have
an icon for HP Scanjet Scanner on the panel but there is no HP scanner
attached to the computer.

Thanks

What version of Vista?If you have GPEdit.msc it has the option to hide
applets.

Go into your windows\system32 folder and see if there is a *.cpl file for
it. If so, delete it. It'll probably start with HP. Something like this
"HPxxxxx.cpl"
