I just upgraded to XP Home from 98SE. The Control Panel
icon on the start menu is barely visible, it appears as
though some of it is missing. Any ideas?

Hi Phil,

This has been noted before as a shell32.dll issue. In some cases this edit
and run command helps.

Repair the Icon View (Line 4)

Then, go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

If not, good luck and keep us posted! :o)

annoyance factor with me, especially after spending the=20
$$$ on the upgrade.
