@Danny, Dylan

Indexing options missing in control panel
I too had this problem, this can be easily solved by regedit:

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls

Add New Expandable String Value (REG_EXPAND_SZ)
Name: SearchAdmin
Value: %SystemRoot%\System32\srchadmin.dll

Open control panel again and the option returns

Hope that helps

Thank you for your insight. I am wondering if there is a similar fix to setup a microsoft exchange server. I keep getting the error form Outlook that the setup needs to be completed in control panels, however there is no mail icon in control panels to do this. How would I accomplish getting the setup to work in outlook?

Thanks eternally!

If your Control Panel icons are missing, try to start “Software Licensing” service.

I did everything step by step but it didn’t work. I even deleted all of them and not just two.

Hi,
I did what you said, except I was unsure what “export function” meant. I deleted the two from the “don’t load” folder. The display settings and network connections are not in my control panel. Can you please help me?
