Quick Access: Control Panel Shortcuts

Q. How to quickly access Mouse, KeyBoard, System Properties? What about "Add/Remove Program"?
A. Just Press Ctrl+R (Run Command) and type any of the following commands:


Command Function
access.cpl Accessibility controls
appwiz.cpl Add/Remove Programs
desk.cpl Display properties
inetcpl.cpl Configure Internet Explorer and Internet properties
main.cpl Mouse properties and settings
main.cpl,@1 Keyboard properties
mmsys.cpl Sounds and Audio
ncpa.cpl Network Connections
nusrmgr.cpl User accounts
powercfg.cpl Power configuration

Also, as Rushabh Shah pointed out, use WinKey+Pause/Break to access "System Properties".

There's lots more to accessing ControlPanel. Find more information at vlaurie.com.
