Control Panel

The Control Panel in Mac OS X is called System Preferences, and it’s represented on the Dock by a little light-switch icon. As in Windows XP, you can view these icons either by category or in a simple alphabetical list: just choose either Organize by Categories or Organize Alphabetically from the View menu.
