There are three of those files in WINNT, all dated April 2, 2003, the same
date as the currently installed (OEM) video driver set. My insticts tell me
to leave them alone.

What would an "expert" do?

He would ask others how to do precisely what he wanted to do, focusing on
the desired end result. If he did not understand the instructions or how
it
fit into his desired end result, he'd keep asking until he understood the
process, becoming 'expert' in the process.

In your case, I would recommend the simplest solution, since you clearly
have a non-virgin system. (Adding, removing, adding...) In the future, for
maximum reliability, you will have to fully purge your system of obsolete
driver debris. For now look for the file: nvtuicpl.cpl you might have it
with other .cpl files in the C:\windows{version}\system32\ directory. If
that is not the file in question, I suspect it's something very similarly
named.

You can safely delete .cpl files, these are what are read to generate the
icon choices when the control panel is opened. AFA the registry entry, if
it
points to the control panel icon or file, ignore it for now, and when you
have the time and inclination, invest in a registry cleaner, and carefully
prune that which is no longer useful.
