If your problems is having 2 Control panel icons appearing on your Windows 7 Desktop after you installed and configured the freeware called "Desktop Toolbar" and now you want one of the two Control Panel icons to go away leaving the other one on the Desktop (it seems like you prefer to keep the Control panel icon from "Desktop Toolbar" and jettison the Windows default Control Panel icon] :I add desktop toolbar to my taskbar. and in this toollbar appear some shortcuts which I have not on my desktop ( Libraries,Control panel, homegroup and others) but the problem is that I have 2 control panels!!!!!!!!!!
Even if I delete one of them it appears again.
could anybody give some advice?
thanks in advance
As you can see in attachment I don't have any of this shortcuts on my desktop - they appeared only on dasktop toolbar

1. right click on taskbar
2. Toolbars
3. Desktop

Did you install the RC on top of the existing Beta using Upgrade Install option although strictly speaking it is NOT an UPGRADE from an OLDER version of Windows like from Windows XP to VISTA or VISTA to Win 7 RC as the changes are only in some file updates/ Bug fixes between Builds. If you had taken Upgrade path, your new system could inherit the bad traits of old build.Hey, I have been having exactly the same problem since the first beta. I just installed the rc and was hopeful that the issue would have been fixed, but iit's still happening.
Like the person who first posted, I didn't install any sort of desktop add-on or anything. Just right-clicked > add new toolbar > desktop. And then voila! Two Control Panel icons.
I'll try some of these suggestions when I get back home tonight.
