If the Control panel is not displayed in the start menu, try this:
right click start > properties > customize (the radio button should be on Start Menu) > Advanced >
Here the first option is control panel. Select display as a link and hit the OK button.
The Control Panel link will now appear on the start menu.

Are you sure this is being done by some person and not by a malware?? Usually, computers in the college labs are virus magnets!!

maybe your culprit is using the following technique:

#-Link-Snipped-#

or,


#-Link-Snipped-#

Yea, its most likely disabled rather than deleted.. but, if it is really deleted, one possible way is to delete all the control panel extensions (all files that end with .cpl) in the Windows/System32 directory. The explorer process has to be killed first though.

hey i found something registry tweak hope this might help fix your problem

#-Link-Snipped-# [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
#-Link-Snipped-# [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
#-Link-Snipped-# NoControlPanel
#-Link-Snipped-# REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
#-Link-Snipped-# (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)

The control panel can be disabled using the group policy.
Here is how its done:

1. Start Menu > Run. In run type gpedit.msc
2. Go to Administrative Templates in User Configuration
3. Double click Control Panel > Open Prohibit Access to Control Pane

If you enable the option the control panel will be disabled. In your case, select Disable or Not configured. There are many more options available.

This may solve your problem.

Hi Pallavi in our college no one have that much guts to do it so it might have been deleted by any malware.I think no one might have done even it does there should be an alternate for control panel and if have doubts try deleting control panel in your system without your Operating system get damaged.It's nearly immpossible to have such a thing in our college.
