Hi Mandy, OK: To access the control panel, open the run dialog box and type "control" without the quotes. To get it back on your start menu, open control panel in the way I just describd, then find taskbar an start menu optins. Go to the start menu page, click customise, choose the advanced tab, and tab till you get to a treeview. Find control panel in that treeview and enable it.
