ok it opens this obviously "C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE" NVCPL.DLL,LoadNVPanel" @jdeboeck, i think i looked into it but couldn't see anything b4. but now i see some stuff, testing..(actually i removed some stuff from it b4, but i think it needed a restart or logoff, will be backing up(nvid regs) and doing it ps. I don't want it cause i sometimes accidentally click it. also i don't want any extra stuff that i don't use, good enough reason?. I've seen more absurd things ppl want to remove. I think this is normal, its not a function that comes with windows and I don't use it and it bugs me and i don't want it.. errrr......overloaded.....quitting....press here to end...... I'll post the results if anyone's also irritated by it..
