A busy weekend at TopGear towers. Jeremy’s now somewhere in Johannesberg waving one of the Stig’s vuvuzela prototypes around, while script editor Richard Porter (your regular correspondent) is on his way home from the Grand Prix with half of the office, having successfully avoided the many grandees he’s offended over the years.
And the Stig. After witnessing Rubens Barrichello’s time in the Liana at the studio this week, he immediately requisitioned a passing Ferrari 458 Italia and disappeared to perma-lap the TopGear track. He was still there when we left. We hope he – and the Ferrari – are OK.
Meanwhile, here’s some extra stuff from the show filming for you. First up, a short film on the magic of Rubens and Andy Wilman’s lucky pants:
And here’s what happened when we met a charming wizardly ginger chap with lots of money and an orange Range Rover Sport:
And if you did actually watch the show instead of the football, let us know your thoughts on Hammond’s muscle car madness and your winner of the Rapide/Quattroporte/Panamera showdown in that convenient space just below…

directly from Brasil here!!!
I’ve always knew that Rubens had talent and without the team to be in his way… well.. you all see what happens!
Plus Rubens shown Schumacher on last race how it is done! By the way where Shummy managed to almost transform it into an accident.

Finally, you might even decide that a sofa bed is the most appropriate form of children’s bed, and the sofa is pulled out at night.

Re: control panel home icons disappeared? Stay with classic so you would not have to quess which category carries which particular programs. Click medium icons and auto arrange options.
You can also program Start menu to list Control panel as a menu instead of a link so you do not have to open CP window.

Re: control panel home icons disappeared? I poked around a bit, but couldn’t locate the sections in:
Have a look at the following Tutorial: Control Panel – Hide Icon
So I just figured I would leave it there…I did a system rollback to previous date, didn’t do it, spyware checks, etc…
I know that this might not be a problem for most folks, but stuff like this just frustrates me, so I try and figure it out….only way to learn is by figuring stuff like this out….

Re: control panel home icons disappeared? yeah…but stay away from Registry.
What exactly do you want to do with the icons in Control Panel? All of them ? or just some of them? Or just size? Or the icon/s appearrances? Or did you go to control panel to change some icons in other applications?

All the icons in the Control Panel Home view are gone…I would like to replace them as they were…I can see them in the Classic view only…in the Home view, it used to have starting point icons to switch between different areas like system and maintenence, personalization, etc….
