Windows 7 Control Panel Issue

Asked By magdalene 210 points N/A Posted on - 07/02/2011

Hi, 

For some reason, now when I go to Start > Control Panel , it takes me to "All Control Panel Items". It just started recently, I haven't changed any items. I want it to go to the Control Panel when I click Control Panel.

How do I do this? Thanks.

Windows 7 Control Panel Issue

Hello Magdalene,

The change is simply a change in the way the icons are. it's nothing technical. Just  follow the steps given below:

1. In the upper-right hand corner, you should see "View by:"
2. Click on that drop down and select "categories". 
3. That should bring it back to the original view that Windows presents.

Thank  you.

Windows 7 Control Panel Issue

 

Hi there,

 

By showing all the control panel items, I take it that you want too specific item, not all of them but categorized by function/type.

 

If that is the case then, you should see a small drop down menu on the upper right corner of the Control Panel Screen which is labeled "View by", change that to Categories and you will be all set.
