Control Panel gone off the Start menu

I was hacking the registry with the help of O'Reilly's book 100 XP Hacks (or something like that). I noticed some time after that the Control Panel icon is no longer on my Start Menu. I have it on my desktop and I looked for the "Pin to Start Menu" option, but it's not there (or I missed it multiple times).

Did I screw something up in the registry, did a virus do this, or what?

You probably screwed up ;) Try getting it back: open "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties", select the "Start Menu" tab, select "Start Menu" and click the "Customize" button. In the "Customize Start Menu" window, select the "Advanced" tab, find "Control Panel" under "Start menu items" and select the "Display as a link" option.
