All icons within the control panel are .cpl files. To delete the icon click Start / Find / Files or folders. For the name of the file type *.cpl insure that the location is the C: drive and click Find.

Once completed you should be able to locate the *.cpl file for the icon you wish to delete. Delete or move the file to another location and reboot the computer.

Make a backup of your registry before the following. (not for the faint of heart).

Select Windows start, run and type regedit.

This will run the windows regedit program.

Next, select edit and then find: type the name of your program and once you find the key for this program , delete it. Press f3 to find the next instance of the program and delete the key. And on again until the keys for the program are all deleted.

This should completely remove the messages concerning the program.

Please report on progress.

It sounds like you installed the tweakui utility (is it Microsoft?)

I would try reinstalling it and then view the readme file that came with it to uninstall.
