What view do you use for Control Panel?.

Choice 3: explain why

[Zxian]

I have mine set to Classic View for when I actually open it up.

Most of the time though, the Control Panel is expanded from my start menu, with only the entries that I can't find elsewhere on my system. For example, I don't have the display properties in the control panel, since I can access them by right-clicking on the desktop.

Same like Zxian, however I am using control command... For common stuff I am using shortcuts (like winkey + Break etc...)

Same situation as soulin here.

[ripken204]

i use the contol panel in the start menu

[Martin Zugec]

2ripken: You broke the chain You should post something like "same as Bashrat"

[Zxian]

^^ lol... should I start some circular reasoning...?

Same as Soulin...

oh... and ripken204, you never said what style you used... classic or category.

[ripken204]

it doesnt matter which one i use tho b/c i never open up the actual control panel, i set the option so that in the start menu the conrtol panel is also a menu

[DigeratiPrime]

I use classic view and have the "common tasks" in folder options turned off. I've never tried using the expanding control panel in the start menu, can someone post the reg tweak for that?

[Zxian]

It's right in the classic Start Menu options

Start->Settings->taskbar and Start Menu->Start Menu->Customize

Check mark beside "Expand Control Panel".

Regtweaks... some people try too hard...

[ripken204]

reg tweak

Classic but I use the same method as ripken204.

Start panel way!

[Win2k3EE]

I can't find things in category view. Options that dumbed-down are for macs
