Lost 'control panel' after (ab)using TweakUI. System restore stored only initial install, i.e. 2 days of work would be lost. Any possibility of getting control panel back somehow ??? Many thanks in anticipation thomas ('bloody' german)

Problem lies in the registry. If you are comfortable editing the registry you can solve the problem without losing any information. Unfortunately I do not rember the specific edit nessecary. DO a search for sites dealing with registry edits and I think policys is the catagory this problem falls into. I'll look for the key in the mean time and post back if I find it before you do.
