Introduction of Control Panel

Microsoft Windows OS provided us a set of computer settings and securities items or options with each and every version of Windows OS like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and more. This set of computer settings is known as Control
Panel.

According to www.wikipedia.com “Control Panel is the part of the Microsoft Windows Graphical User Interface which allows user to view and control basic system settings and controls via applets, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user account settings and changing accessibility options.”
