Comment on: Windows 10 Control Panel gets another nail in its coffin
Windows 7 was well on the way to abandoning the Control Panel and associated administrative tools.
2000 is wild because they abandoned the 9x internet explorer integrations but hadn't yet begun the UX overhaul that led to Vista.
The tooling is all built with win32 forms or similar, navigatable with a keyboard, clearly legible with consistent look and feel, and fast.

Windows 2000 was peak windows design for power users; it may not have been the best for games, but in terms of the whole system design for user experience it was all downhill from there.
