Opening Control Panels - Introduction

Kimmy

Introduction

This example demonstrates how to open Control Panel items such as Internet Settings, Mouse, Monitor etc..

The .CPLs can be found in C:\Windows\System, just mess about with the numbers, there are too many to list. Basically the number represents the tab, ie Display->Settings/Appearance/Background etc..

' Internet Settings
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl")

' Internet->Security
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,1")

' Printers Folder
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL main.cpl @2")

' Fonts Folder
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL main.cpl @3")

' Display->Appearance
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl ,2")

' Display->ScreenSaver
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl ,1")

' Display->Settings
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl ,3")

' Display->Background
x = Shell("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl ,5")

Till the Roof comes off Till the Lights go out Till my Legs give out Can't shut my mouth I will not fall, my Wisdoms all.
