Hello,

I have a certain software the I've unistalle and it's Icon left at the control panel. Is there any way to remove an Icon from the Windows Control Panel?
 
Good work.

How about letting the next person to see this thread or have the problem know how you did it?
 
Dear linney,

You are absolutely right, here goes:
Under system32 folder there are .cpl files. Each cpl file represents an Icon at the Control Panel. Simply delete the one you want and it will disappear.
More info can be found here:
