I don't know what has happened.. but now my control panel only shows these 3 icons when I visit it.

Which means I can no longer uninstall any applications through the Vista uninstall agent or do anything else that is kept inside the Control Panel.

I don't know how to get it back. The only change to my system was that I installed a newer version of iTunes. But of course without the uninstaller I am unable to uninstall iTunes since it does not seem to make a uninstaller inside its directory and the installer also does not include an uninstaller path.

Anyone else had anything like this?

Screen shot to illustrate my point.

I'm sure. I have not touched any services. It worked okay last night, I woke up this morning and it was like this.

Okay I fixed it. When I opened my Wallpaper section to set a different Dream background I noticed that all the Video and Dream selection items had also vanished so I guessed this was an Explorer problem. I closed Explorer.exe and re-opened it through Task Manager and the control panel came back to normal as did my Dream menu!

Case closed. Thanks Slimey for replying though.
