I love the Command Prompt. As a power user, it’s the fastest way to access just about everything you need to do on your Windows system and the Control Panel is a perfect example of this! Most of the Control Panel applets are actually files with a .CPL extension, and those that are, would be located in the %systemroot%\system32 folder.

You can access these applets by hitting the Windows Key+R and typing Control and the app that you want. Example:
control hdwwiz.cpl

The List

I wrote the list in alphabetical order for your viewing pleasure (you could call this list the third in the Saman’s Big Ole List Of Windows… series). Just remember that some of these might not work on your machine - things like the Bluetooth manager won’t work if you don’t have Bluetooth installed!
