Hello, I uninstalled Xteq's X-Setup, but the icon for it is still in the Contron Panel. Is there a registry key or something I can delete to get rid of it from the Control Panel? Thanks. (NT 4.0 Workstation)

The control panel icons are locaed in the winnt\system32\ directory.
They have the extention of .cpl.
1. Open Windows NT Explorer ( 4.0 ) or File manager ( 3.51 ) and locate all the *.cpl files in the \%SystemRoot%\System32 directory. NOTE: An easy method to group all the .cpl files together is to use the tool bar and click on View/Arrange Icons/by Type. This will group all the *.cpl files sequentially.
Find the icon for you deleted program and remove it. DONE.
