I start control panel by begin to start typing 'control' in the search box and it appears.
I use the following 2 REG files to toggle 'Small icons/Category' view:
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Personalisation - Control Panel - Small icons view - Turn ON [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel] "AllItemsIconView"=dword:00000001 "StartupPage"=dword:00000001The only difference appears to be the DWORD value for 'StartupPage'.Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Personalisation - Control Panel - Category view - Turn ON (default) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel] "AllItemsIconView"=dword:00000001 "StartupPage"=dword:00000000
Hope this helps...
Save just the second REG file [i.e. Personalisation - Control Panel - Category view - Turn ON (default)] anywhere you want, it's not important. Double-click on the saved REG file to merge it into the registry.
The DWORD value for the StartupPage entry is what controls the view. A value of 0 means 'Category' view.
Hope this helps...
