General contains the items that don't fall under any other category (eg,
desktop pattern, RAM cache, menu blink, etc.).  Keyboard controls the
keyboard repeating.  Mouse controls the mouse scaling and double click speed.

You can remove any file you want, if you don't want to change those options.
If you remove all the files, then you might as well remove the Control Panel
DA, because it won't do anything.  (The Control Panel will just tell you
that there are no files.)

The best thing to do is try the Control Panel.  There is no real change in
function between the latest Control Panel and previous versions.

KeyLayout is used by the KeyCaps DA to tell what the physical keyboard
layout is.  If you remove it, then KeyCaps will not show you a picture of
the keyboard.

It should work on any hard disk.  I don't know about running under earlier
systems.
