Some time ago I asked for this shortcut and someone here kindly obliged. Since then my PC has gone down and I have a new system. Now cannot find my notes I had how to get that control panel shortcut for my desktop. Would someone please oblige again and provide same? Thanks heeps.

Hi pdcagirl,

There may be an easier way, but this is how I do it ...

Open Control Panel > Folder Options > Display tab > check the box for Show Control Panel in My Computer

Then go to My Computer > right click Control Panel icon < create shortcut > and it will ask if you want the shortcut to go to the desktop

Bless you bless you! Worked liked a charm. Will copy this path and put on paper this time to keep. Seems few people know how to do this and it takes going to France to know how Thanks ever so much.

You can also shortcut Control Panel from the command line by typing control.exe

Really? Will also give that try and keep for future reference. Thanks for this tip.

Almost every native windows app has a shortcut that can be run from the command line

Here is a pretty good list of them: http://forums.techar...eaks/540865.htm
