CertiGuide to A+ (Operating Systems) - VIII Control Panel Features

The Control Panel is the “car dashboard” for your computer. It has all the information to "drive your computer". In the Control Panel we look for hardware conflicts, make a boot disk, add/remove programs, set display and user settings. We also configure our network information here.

To go to the Control Panel, we choose start, settings and Control Panel, as shown in Figure 47. We can also double-click on "my computer" on the desktop and open the Control Panel.

If we happen to be in Explorer, viewing My Computer, we can also navigate to the Control Panel from there (Figure 48).
