Control Panel

Hi All , After going to the start menu and up to settings I don't have control panel or printers listed , All I have is task bar and start menu there. This is in classic setting I do have them listed in XP style. Is there someway I can get control panel back on the start menu in Classic style?

I think you have to right click on the start button, and choose properties. The option should be somewhere in there.

Right click, go to properties, and next to classic > go to customize and find control panel and enable it.

That is the problem . When I do the above I don't have control panel in the list so I can't enable it.
In XP mode I have the option to do that and it is enabled there .

Switch to the other view and see if its there then.

Or go to my computer, on the side > click change my settings (control panel)

Hope that works.
