XP Control Panel gone

I cannot find my control panel on my Dell desktop with XP. I'm attempting to change my authorization settings that are preventing me from setting up my wireless home network. How do I change my administrative?
 
Thanks

    C. Moore,
     
    Not yet, but will know soon. Called Dell and allowed them to run diagnostics on my PC. I have a virus that makes the Control Panel "disappear". I have to back up all my files, then they are going to call me back this evening and walk me thru erasing my hard drive and re-installing XP operating system. I'll let you know how I make out. Bet you're as frustrated as I am with trying to figure this out.
     
    Thanks,

    Is add/remove in the start menu?
     
    Try this,start>run>appwiz.cpl
     
    If add/remove opens than its a shortcut issue.
     
    To create admin account,start>run>control>user accounts>create a new account>enter name>next>computer administrator>create account.
