How do I get the home page to appear for Control Panel Windows Vista? ?

When I open the Control Panel, the home page does not appear. On the left side, there is only Classic View. How do I get the home page to appear for Control Panel Windows Vista? ?
Not sure what version of Vista you are running but I'll try and help.





This is a known problem...


Open notepad and write the following:





net stop readyboost


net stop slsvc


net start slsvc


net start readyboost


@cls





Save the file as something.bat





This will stop ReadyBoost first (which depends on SLSvc), then SLSvc, then restarts both in opposite order, then it will close the command window. It needs to be run as administrator. If you need to work with the Notification service, too, for some reason, just add net stop/start SLUINotify in the appropriate places.





';Switch to Category View'; option is missing in the Control Panel Common Tasks





When you open Control Panel, the option Switch to Category View option and the section box may not be present. This happens if the ForceClassicControlPanel policy is enabled in the registry or via Group Policy.





If ForceClassicControlPanel is set to 0, Switch to Classic View is unavailable





If ForceClassicControlPanel is set to 1, Switch to Category View is unavailable





To get back the option, follow these steps:





* Click Start/Run and type REGEDIT


* Navigate to the following key:





HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \Windows


CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer





* Backup the registry key to a REG file. See here for more information.


* In the right-pane, delete ForceClassicControlPanel (if exists)


* Repeat the same in the following registry key:





HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer





* Close Registry Editor and restart Windows
