Can't open control panel

I am the administrator of my sole home computer. Suddenly, I cannot open
control panel from my screen. However, when I switch to the other user's
screen I can access the control panel from there. Can anyone help me to get
access to the control panel without switching to another user who uses the
computer less than I. Thank you.

If you have Nero InCD installed...the following

or you cannot start Control Panel, the Welcome
Center, or games in Windows Vista

RE: Can't open control panel

I'm having the same problem this morning after migrating applications from my
XP box to the new Vista box. Uninstalled roxio and uninstalled all hotfixes
installed today, to no avial. No, I don't have Nero InCD. The orig Admin
account is the one having issues, the other Admin account and User account
are fine.

Anyone have other suggestions? (and yes I am going through the rather large
CBS log from command line checking... 99% checked, some files corrupted but
unable to be fixed, trying currently to go through the logs to find the files
but it's taking forever...)
