Cannot open Control Panel or My Computer Properties

If you are using Vista or Windows 7, and if when you try to open Control Panel or "My Computer"->Properties, sometimes it wont open it. It appears to be loading for few seconds and after that it wont load.
This is due to the corrupted .cpl files.

To resolve this issue, do the following

1. Type "services.msc" in the run command
2. Restart "Software Licensing" service

Now you should be able to open the Control Panel and My Computer Properties.
