On my Windows XP SP3 laptop, when I open Windows Explorer, Control Panel is always missing from the folder tree in the left pane, obviously even when My Computer is expanded.

My user account is an administrator, and I can enter the Control Panel by typing it in the address bar of Windows Explorer.

I've searched Google and haven't been able to find a solution.
