windoze control panel items
Hi,
can somebody please help me to understand the items in the control panel and how they connect/relate/action? The reason I ask is that some of the control panel items, in my windoze vista machine, have "gone missing" ie vanished, disparu.
I assume that the items usually in the control panel are just shortcuts to the actual application code hidden away somewhere.
I just went to use the add or remove programmes thingy because my java installation is driving me around the bend and I want to uninstall it. Gone.
My java update is stuck in an endless loop. Every day it tells me it has a new version to install, it goes through the machinations, runs a test of java and tells me that the java is out of date, please update. In the meantime, links in emails are hit and miss whether they will work and mostly don't. I have been getting around this by forwarding the failing emails to an account I can read on another machine (running Linux Mint) where they do work.
Ta,
Rans6....
