Windows XP Tips: Recategorize Control Panel Applets

You  can  also  recategorize  applets  and  put  them  in  any  category  you  want.  For example, by default, the Mouse Properties applet can be found in the Printers and Other Hardware category, but if you prefer that it instead be found in Accessibility Options, you can move it there. 

To put an applet into any category you want, you need two pieces of information: the filename of the applet (for example, main.cpl for the Mouse Properties dialog box), and the Registry value for each Control Panel category (for example, 0x00000007 (7) for Accessibility Options.

To  recategorize  a  Control  Panel  applet,  run  the  Registry  Editor  and  go  to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control 

Panel\Extended Properties\{305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74}

2. The key {305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74}2  is  the  container  that  holds  all 

Control Panel categories. 

Now find the Registry key of the applet you want to recategorize. The filename of the applet  will  appear  on  the  end  of  the  key;  for  example, %SystemRoot%\system32\main.cpl is the Mouse Properties dialog box. Change the key's DWORD value to the value of the Control Panel category into which you want the applet to appear. For example, if you want the applet to appear in the Performance and Maintenance category, give it a value of 5. The value will then be displayed in the Registry as 0x00000005(5). 

When you're done, exit the Registry. The applet will now appear in the new category.
