He's going to call back after he eats lunch.

It is called "Control Panel".

Start button will give access to it.

Odd. My CP is pinned on the menu.

That will launch the Control Panel. Maybe I pinned mine into my menu

I found it. It was under HP Setup Manager, with 9 other items with
little white print on a transparent purple background. Ugh.

He's 73 and not fond of computers, but I had just as much troulble as
he did. This was to get the mike volume higher, but he's called
Rosetta Stone Customer Service about the other problems, like repeatly
suggesing he update the software, then when he does, suggesting it
again, and having no way to bypass Update except by starting Update
and cancelling it in the middle. They're supposed to call him back
in 10 minutes.

Thank you all.

It turns out it's always there for him too, but hidden like I describe
in the previous post

Try reading this link and see if that solves the problem:

http://www.sysprobs.com/hide-windows...nel-start-menu .

The link actually shows how to hide the Control Panel, but maybe if someone
already hid it, you can "un-hide" it by unchecking the right option.

Or, try what is says near the bottom of the link and type in "control" after
clicking on "Programs".

Or, maybe TeamViewer doesn't give you permission to access the Control Panel
remotely? If so, could you ask your brother to try clicking on Start then
Control Panel himself directly on his own computer rather than you trying to
do it through TeamViewer?

Many modules will run from the search / run box.

Try:

There are others.

So far TViewer lets me do everything -- it's great --, except that
if i want to use combination keys, like alt-tab, I have to say so. A
box pops up and asks after the first time I try, and after every time
if I don't give blanket agreement.

If so, could you ask your brother to try clicking on Start then
Control Panel himself directly on his own computer rather than you trying to
do it through TeamViewer?

Thank you.

My brother is 73, doesn't like computers, and this program is giving 3
other problems that I can't solve either. Well I think I solved one,
that he just understand what was wanted, but the other two wore me
out.

I take care of about 15 computers running XP or Win7. Desktops,
laptops, netbooks. Every one has the control panel in the same place
on the Start menu. Doubt yours is different.

Heh

You can access it through the search tool when you click the start menu.

One of several ways.

It might be unpinned from the start menu.

computers. Not system administrator (would involve more money) but
responsible for everyone's bs?

I managed 70 machines on a network, met the deadline for the project

"My monitor isn't working." Turn it on, "I did". Does it have power?
"Yes."

So I went up there and plugged the monitor into the power.

Some are job related, others are family related. We don't have enough
IT to need a System Administrator (it would be a pay cut anyway), it
is just that I happen to know more about computers than anyone at
work. If I need help, I call the guy that builds them for us.

My boss is the owner, a graduate mechanical engineer, very smart and
has owned a couple of businesses. Every year he takes his laptop to
Florida and every year he calls and asks how to disable the touch pad
as he uses a mouse. You get the idea.

We could have used a real IT guy but maybe for only 4 hours a day, so
they used me and I'd call up a consultant when it was out of my league.
The system sort of worked. I don't know what happened when I left.

If I get myself in that situation again I hope I've learned how to say
"no". I doubt it though.

Hi,
Motivation and good health is the key. There is these old sayings,
"Age is state of mind", "Young man sold his health getting rich, when
he got old he spent all the money trying to get his health back"

Not long ago I helped a grand parents showing how to do Skype voice/
video operation. They now enjoy weekly chat and eyeballing with their
grand kids overseas. Few days ago I had to upgrade their Skype with new
version. Pop up message keep telling to upgrade was bothering them.

I retired from Honeywell in '96 as a Sr System support Specialist. B4 I
worked for USDOD for worldwide military communications command.
Traveled A LOT all over the globe working as C&I, M&O engineer.

You're right but I knew you guys would get back to me before he
finished lunch.

He dislikes computers enough, I didn't want this experience to be a
really bad one.

With your (plural) help, and mineWe got past the control panel, but
there were still 2 big problems in this software which he had used
succesffully months ago.

I don't want to get into the name of the software, and the problems
are difficult to explain concisely. He was going to call their
customer service. At least he knows it stymied me too and it's not
that he's no good at this. (like his wife keeps telling him.)

I searched and Control Panel is a file, a shortcut they call it.
It exists in WinME too and in XP it's 152 bytes. It has no extension
