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.
