According to TweakUI for XP Control Panel items end in *.cpl. I would do a search for the item you want.

I have been doing some hardcore searching. That's why I posted. I have run in to a dead end. :?
I just now ran a search for ".cpl" files I still can't find it. Do you think it is named something wierd? I tryed a search for "addremov" still nothing.
Thanks for all help!!
