Hi All,

My mail icon disappeared in the Control Panel and I don't know how to get it
back. I uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 and that didn't help. I
cannot change my e-mail settings via Outlook - it says to go into the control
panel, which isn't there. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Control Panel doesn't contain a Mail icon by default.

What says "go into the control panel"? What does it say once you open
Control Panel?

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults,
maybe?

XP does not have a Mail icon in the Control Panel unless you have some
version of Outlook.

Mlcfg32.Cpl = Mail and Fax or Microsoft Mail Configuration Library from
Outlook.

Do a Search on your machine for Mlcfg32.Cpl, when/if located double click
Mlcfg32.Cpl and see if it opens.

Apparently, Mlcfg32.Cpl for Outlook 2000 is located here.
c:\programfiles\commonfiles\system\mapi\1033\nt\ml cfg32.cpl

Hi All,

I have Outlook 2007. I figured out what the problem is .. I am using XP 64
bit edition and it was in the x86 Control Panel subfolder. I hadn't even
thought to look there before.

Thanks!

Glad you got it figured out.

I have never even heard of the x86 Control Panel subfolder.

FYI there is an x64 newsgroup. This one deals with 32 bit XP.
