Can I remove this item from Control Panel?

Whoops, silly me, I used that Kelly's Korner tweak to "Add clipboard to
Control Panel" forgetting that it only applied to XP and won't work with
Vista. There's now an icon for it in my vista control panel which when
clicked on just brings up an error message. Can I easily remove this
from CP? If it's complicated I won't bother but could somebody just
reasure me that it's doing no harm there! many thanks.:shock:

Remove item from Control Panel
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Win + E » navigate to C:\Windows\System32 »

Search for *.cpl (control panel items have .cpl extension) »

Move the desired .CPL to another location

Hi Daffydee,

This tutorial will show you how to hide Control Panel icons of your
choice so that they will not display in it anymore.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
