Make sure you read everything carefully and drop me a PM if you have any questions!
Want to move an item in your control panel, or completely hide it?
Basically, the CPLMAIN.cpl handles all this, and you'lle have fun trying to change this file, but if you want a quick and easy approach,
Lets take the Backlight settings for example.
It exists in the System tab. What if we wanted this on our Personal tab?
The icons exist in "Groups" in the registry, 0 = Personal, 1 = System, 2 = Connections
So therefor if we change the group the icon will move.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Backlight\Group = 1.
So change it to 0.
Wait for the registry to flush and then soft reset. When the device comes online, the icon will be in personal.
Similarly if i wanted to get rid of the icon all together, i would change the group to something that didnt exist, eg. "6" then it would not appear.
Also, sometimes you can find 'secret' icons that are hidden, these will usually have a blank "Redirect" entry or, a "Hide" entry in their key. So just remove it and assign it a group!
All of this can be done with a CAB if you wish too.
Some icons however, don't exist in the registry control panel settings, they are merely implemented in the cpl. I can go into this if people want to know.
