Thanks for this! I was able to get rid of the duplicate .cpl files.......however the icons remained - I was still unable to delete them with the instructions that the link provided :)

Go to the following folder.

C:\Windows\System32 > search for *.Cpl files.

Do you still have the duplicate entries there and can you delete them from there?
