Restoring the UPS Tool and Icon in Control Panel (150541)

MORE INFORMATION

APC supplies Remove.exe to remove the APC program and icon. The Windows NT UPS tool and icon are not restored. To restore the UPS tool and icon, perform the following steps;

1. Run the Remove.exe program to remove the Powershute software.
2. Expand the UPS.CP_ file from the Windows NT CD and copy it to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. This step is necessary even if the file is currently on the hard disk drive, because the Powershute software file needs to be replaced. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
   
3. Save the following registry key to disk:
