Hey,

I tried to find this information on the net, but to no avail. What is the actual file that windows accesses when one clicks on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties applet?

thanks
 
So it is just an "extension" of explorer or something? The reason I am asking is b/c i am trying to get that button to work in control panel as for some reason it stopped working. Also, Folder Options in control panel is not working. I don't need them there as ther are many other places to access them, i just want to know how to fix them
 
Try this:

Many problems can be fixed simply by re-registering Shell32.dll, which stores information about Windows' interface and is used to open files and Web pages. For example, re-installing this DLL will restore JPEG or GIF image previews under the Desktop tab of the Display Properties dialog box (right-click the desktop and choose Properties
to see this dialog). It can also repair the ability to launch the Create Shortcut Wizard (right-click the desktop and choose New, Shortcut
), as well as the double-click behavior of folder icons, which is easily corrupted.

To restore this DLL, choose Start, Run
, type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll, and press <Enter>. (The /i switch stands for "install.") A message tells you if the command worked. (You may need to restart Windows to see the effect.)
 
Thanks for the suggestion. It went through ok, but it did not fix the problem. I wonder if there is another dll I can re-install to fix this problem?
