XP Home

When I click on Control Panel, a large number of the icons are missing,
leaving what appears to look like a small blank page. The icons that are
visible are .. Add or Remove, Admin Tools, Internet Tools, Network Setup
Wizard, Windows Firewall, and Wireless Network Setup. All of the functions
work properly when clicked on and the written description under the icon is
still there. Strangely the other accounts on this computer do not have the
same problem. I have even tried a system retore with no results. Any help
with a solution is appreciated.

One work around is to create a new account with the same privileges. Does
the problem occur in that new account? If not copy the settings and data
from the problem account to the new one. Does it still work ok? If so,
delete the old account.
