Use Control Panel, not the Control Panel, to refer to the entire Windows Control Panel feature.
Most of the time, refer to specific, named control panels. When you must discuss control panels generically, refer to an individual control panel as a control panel item (lowercase). When you must refer to the icons that represent control panels, use control panel icon (lowercase). Don't use applet, program, tool, or control panel to refer to either the icons or the items.
Use bold formatting for the names of control panel items and icons and to refer to the Control Panel command on the Start menu. Otherwise, don't use bold formatting.
In documentation for a technical audience, refer to control panel home page and control panel category page (lowercase).
When referring to a control panel item’s hub page, use main <control panel item name> page.
Examples
In Control Panel, select Network and Internet, and then select Internet Options.
To open Internet Options, select Start, select Control Panel, and then select Network and Internet.
