Vista missing mail icon in control panel

Dan posted on February 9, 2010 14:19

The other day I really needed to get to the "Mail" icon in the control panel on my vista desktop.  That's easy you might be thinking!

After spending 5 minutes hunting around switching from classic view then back to normal view and then back to classic etc etc I thought this is damn right stupid the email icon must be there somewhere so after a quick Google I found that you need to do the following in 64bit Vista:

- In control panel switch to classic view
- Click "View 32bit Control Panel Items"
- There it is the email icon, why did Microsoft make it so hard!!
