Technical Tips: How to Change categories in the Control Panel?

How to Change categories in the Control Panel?

Windows XP’s Control Panel is broken down by category in the default Category view, but the group to which an item belongs is not always obvious. If you disagree with M*cf*t’s assignments, you can switch them around. To assign a different category to an item, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\M*cf*t\Windows\Current Version\Control Panel\Extended Properties\
{305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74} 2

Find the item you want to change and double-click it to bring up a dialog box. Change the item’s DWORD value to your preference. Use the Table given below as a guide (shown with decimal numbers, which is the way you should enter them).
