Removing a program from the Control Panel

Run the Windows Explorer and go to the Windows/System directory. Find the appropriate CPL file (file with the extension CPL) and delete it.

Note: If you want them still available but not showing up in the Control Panel itself, you can also move them to another directory.
To invoke them, type CONTROL \path\cpl_file where path is the full path where they are located and cpl_file is the name of the CPL file.
For example, if you don't want users to see the Network icon in the control panel but still want to be able to make changes, you could move the NETCPL.CPL
file to another directory. Then type CONTROL \path\NETCPL.CPL.

A listing of all the CPL files can be found later in this section at: Control Panel CPL Files
