How to hide or unhide the Control Panel icons?

The Control Panel is a special folder that contains the tools (system software) used to configure the hardware and software. For example, you can customize the mouse, keyboard, printer, add or remove hardware or program and also set the appearance of desktop using color schemes, screen savers etc. All tools in the control panel are saved with CPL extension. You can find all CPL files inside C:\Windows\System32 folder with searching *.cpl extension.

Therefore, you can make your computer more secure to hide some important tools of control panel, because you can prevent other users to make any changes in your computer using the Control Panel tools.
