Description:
Control panel is a repository of various applets/administrative tools that can be used to configure the windows, applications, and services environment. If you go to start > settings menu and select control panel, operating system will open the control panel window. To avoid the display of control panel in new start menu, apply this registry setting. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value start_showcontrolpanel, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to 0 which can hide control panel item from the new start menu. However, if you want to show the item back, change the value data to 1 or delete the value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: this setting will have no effect if you use the classic start menu display in windows.
