I am running winxp sp2. In 'my computer' there is an 'others' section which
contains a conrol panel icon which I wish to remove. Could anyone offer any
help please?

Go to Control Panel and double click Folders Options.
In Folder Options, click on the View tab.
In the Advanced Settings box, scroll down to "Show Control
Panel in My Computer".
Remove the check mark from the box next to that line.
Click OK.

Good luck

Thank You for your advice. I must be going daft, after I read your message I
remembered what to do. Thanks once again.
