Well, if it doesn't go anywhere idk if it is anything. Just delete it. Try KillBox if you can't.

On second thought, Killbox might not be able to do it anyway. I know there's a way to get rid of these but I'm not sure since I haven't used Windows for more than a year, but search for *.cpl and you might encounter it.

Hid "del" or delete on the keyboard

if that doesn't work hit shift delete.

if that doesn't work look at the control panel in the registry

See if you can list C:\Windows\System32\*.cpl

Move out any suspicious .cpl files.
