Something got corrupted or a registry setting got messed up. As far as I know there isn't a way to correct it. That happened to my Dad's computer. I spent an hour trying various things to correct it without success. Ultimately that problem never got fixed until he reinstalled Windows.
It sounds like you're saying that when you click the control panel icon, nothing happens. But do at least try this workaround (in Win2000 and WinXP). Click on Start, Settings, Taskbar & Start Menu (thats in Win2000, not sure if that menu is under control panel in XP, with your problem, this won't work). But if you can get to that option, then click on the Advanced tab (under the Taskbar and Start Menu properties dialogue). Check off the box that says Expand Control Panel. What that does is instead of having to click the Control Panel icon, the control panel icon will now display an arrow beside it and expand into all the stuff inside it (exact same principle when you click Start, Programs and highlight something, it explands into another menu). At least if that works, you can still get into the individual Control panel programs.
