- manage accounts (add and delete users, set passwords to log in)
- perform many other actions.
To open the control panel Windows, you can do one of the following ways:
1. Press the "Start" button, go to the arrow on the item "Settings" and select "Control Panel."

So the window is open.What can you see?Before us - more than two dozen different icons.They allow you to change settings through the operating system dialog boxes.To understand what lies behind each icon, select the menu "View" string "Table".
the way, these "pictures" are called applets, and they represent a separate file with the extension .cpl.Each of them will start the system utility, and it has, in turn, performs certain actions.Windows 7 Control Panel applets can contain, correlated not only with the tools of the family Microsoft, but with third party software.
