SYMPTOMS

Some of the default Microsoft Windows NT Control Panel icons may be missing.

CAUSE

This problem can occur when the *.cpl file that displays the icon either becomes corrupt or is deleted by accident.

RESOLUTION

Copy or expand the *.cpl files from the original installation location, such as the Windows NT CD-ROM.

Windows NT 3.51

Copy the *.cpl file from the Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 CD to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.

Windows NT 4.0

Expand the *.cpl file from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 CD. The following example demonstrates how to expand the file Access.cpl from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 CD into the C:\Winnt\System32 directory:

expand d:\i386\access.cp_ c:\winnt\system32\access.cpl
