For some reason my control panel will not open. When I try to access it, it pops up with an error message that says:
Quote ...
Windows Explorer has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem and try to restart the program.
> Check online for a solution and restart the program
> Restart the program
When I select the first option it acts like it's trying to retrieve info from online, then it just restarts explorer.exe
Now, I may be completely off by assuming that this error is related to having a non-compatible version of Norton Anti-Virus installed. Yet I will go on to ask if anyone knows how to get directly to the Add/Remove Programs area in Windows without having to go through the control panel. i.e. C://Windows/... ???
hopefully this isn't too much to ask, but can you tell me the other "shortcuts" to get to other control panel tools?
sorry thats the only one i know!
You could try a program caleed ccleaner it has a add and remove feature but im not sure if it works when the windows control panel is not functioning ..the ccleaner uninstall function is in the tools section ,ccleaner is a very safe program i use it all the time for about 2 yrs now .
you can find ccleaner at www.filehippo.com
