How to add Personalization to Windows Control Panel

Today we are going to take a look at how to add “Personalization” to the Control Panel in Windows 10, 8 and 7.

1. Download the ready-made file “personalization” to add “Personalization” to the Control Panel and go to step 5 of the instructions, or create it by following the instructions below.

In the search bar or in the “Run” menu (run by pressing the Win + R keys) enter notepad and press the Enter key.

2. In Notepad, paste the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{580722ff-16a7-44c1-bf74-7e1acd00f4f9}]
@ = ”@% SystemRoot% System32 themecpl.dll, -1 # immutable1 ″
“InfoTip” = “@% SystemRoot% System32 themecpl.dll, -2 # immutable1”
“System.ApplicationName” = ”Microsoft.Personalization”
“System.ControlPanel.Category” = dword: 00000001
“System.Software.TasksFileUrl” = ”Internal”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{580722ff-16a7-44c1-bf74-7e1acd00f4f9}DefaultIcon]
@ = ”% SystemRoot% System32 themecpl.dll, -1 ″

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{580722ff-16a7-44c1-bf74-7e1acd00f4f9}ShellOpencommand]
@=”explorer shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921}”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerControlPanelNameSpace{580722ff-16a7-44c1-bf74-7e1acd00f4f9}]
@ = “Personalization”

3. Go to “File” and click on “Save As”.

4. Choose any location to save the file (the main thing is that you can find it later) => in the “File name” line, enter any name you think of, just change the extension to reg (see picture). In our example, we name the file Personalization.reg and click on “Save”.
