Or, if you've lost your Control Panel tile from the Start screen, just type 'Control Panel' whilst in the Start screen. You'll see Control panel in the list of apps. Right click on it. A menu bar appears at the bottom of the screen. Select 'Pin to start' and the icon will be placed back on your Start screen. You may have to scroll to the left to find it, newly added tiles are usually added right at the end.

I don't think this works in Consumer Preview. Searching for Control Panel in the Start screen only gives me the NORMAL Control Panel NOT the METRO Control Panel.

Thanks Abhijitrucks the METRO Control Panel is called PC Settings which is confusing.
