The Control Panel acts as a sort of mission control for Windows 98. It contains icons which
are used to control various settings of the computer. Some of the settings behind the icon
can be reached from other directions but some can be reached only by the Control Panel.
To open the Control Panel, click Start >> Settings >> Control Panel.
The icons in the Control Panel differ from computer to computer because these represent
software’s and hardware and each computer has different hardware and software installed.
Generally the following icons are displayed in the Control Panel.
