Hi,
Somehow I changed the name of the control panel to "Panneau de
configuration," does anyone know how to change this back?
Thanks You

Do you have a French MUI Pack for Windows XP installed?

Try this.

Do a Search for MFC42LOC.DLL, especially in %windir%\System32.

HOW TO: Search For Hidden Or System Files In Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302347

If MFC42LOC.DLL is present in the %windir%\System32 folder, rename
MFC42LOC.DLL to MFC42LOC.old

Locate the file mfc42loc.dll and, if found, check its properties.

MFC42LOC.DLL file tells mfc42.dll what language to use in some dialog and
menu boxes. Installing a program that comes in multiple languages (or
installing an update that is not the same language as the operating system)
will occasionally drop a copy of this file that does not match the users
language settings. Renaming or deleting the file allows Windows to use the
user's default language settings instead the language noted by the file.

Drive by IE can install MFC42LOC.DLL also.

mfc42.dll should not be messed with.

I had a Japanese MFC42LOC.DLL installed once.

I only have the file mcf42u.dll, none of the others you spoke of.

mcf42u.dll is not an XP file, I do not know what it is.

Beats me.

I apologize, the correct file name is mfc42u.dll
