    Is registry setting of NoControlPanel 1 or 0? Set it to 0 (0=False, 1=True).
    Fixed?

    Lower part of pictue is screenshot of registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer ?

    If so .... many other values there?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    ms config also listed there or subkeys?
