I still cant get rid of the icon in the control panel...any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Control panel icons have .cpl extensions and all of them can be found in the c:\windows\system directory

Do a file search for *.cpl and look for one that might be Wild tangent. If you have deleted the software it will probably not open when you click on it; the others will.
hey thatnks alot it worked!!! i learn something new everyday!!!
Remember how to use *.CPL in "Find". If your Control Panel ever crashes and you can't access it, you can access the icons in it by using the same method and double-clicking them.;)
