In tip 0258, I listed the typical Control Panel applets for a Windows NT 4.0 system.
In tip 2667, I detailed the execution of Control Panel applets for a typical Windows 2000 system.
You can also run Control Panel applets using Control.exe, on both systems, using the following syntax:
Control c:winntsystem32[,function]
NOTE: The function is only required when an applet provides multiple functions.
Here are the typical commands for Windows NT 4.0, but you can easily see what works in Windows 2000, from the previous tips:
Control c:winntsystem32telephon.cpl,Telephony Control c:winntsystem32ups.cpl,UPS Control c:winntsystem32telephon.cpl,Telephony Control c:winntsystem32srvmgr.cpl,Server Control c:winntsystem32srvmgr.cpl,Services Control c:winntsystem32srvmgr.cpl,Devices Control c:winntsystem32cpa.cpl,Network Control c:winntsystem32main.cpl,Mouse Control c:winntsystem32main.cpl,Keyboard Control c:winntsystem32main.cpl,Printers Control c:winntsystem32main.cpl,Fonts Control c:winntsystem32odbccp32.cpl,ODBC Control c:winntsystem32console.cpl,Console Control c:winntsystem32appwiz.cpl,Add/Remove Programs Control c:winntsystem32access.cpl,Accessibility Options Control c:winntsystem32inetcpl.cpl,Internet Control c:winntsystem32DESK.CPL,Display Control c:winntsystem32DEVAPPS.CPL,PC Card (PCMCIA) Control c:winntsystem32DEVAPPS.CPL,SCSI Adapters Control c:winntsystem32DEVAPPS.CPL,Tape Devices Control c:winntsystem32INTL.CPL,Regional Settings Control c:winntsystem32MMSYS.CPL,Multimedia Control c:winntsystem32MMSYS.CPL,Sounds Control c:winntsystem32MODEM.CPL,Modems Control c:winntsystem32PORTS.CPL,Ports Control c:winntsystem32SYSDM.CPL,System Control c:winntsystem32TIMEDATE.CPL,Date/Time
