Control Panel Opening from the Run Command

It can and does happen that you cannot access Control Panel through the usual

methods, however, fear not Lindburgh is to hand with a solution

All you do is operate it through the Run command as follows:‐

Go to :‐

Start > Run

In the box type without the quotes “ Control “

Press OK or Enter key

That’s simple ain’t it ?

Whilst on the subject of Control Panel you may have your system set to where you always have to click the Control Panel to open it.

Well that is easily changed

Right‐click an empty area of the Taskbar and choose ʺPropertiesʺ.

Or right click on the Start Icon and choose Properties

When the ʺTaskbar and Start Menu Propertiesʺ multi‐tabbed dialog box

appears, click the ʺStart Menuʺ tab.

Select Customize

Then Advanced or Underneath ʺStart menu itemsʺ

Scroll to ʺControl Panelʺ. ( It should be the first listed )

Click the ʺDisplay as a menuʺ radio button.

Click ʺOKʺ on the dialog boxes to close them.

Now, when you click ʺStartʺ and hover your cursor over ʺControl Panelʺ, all of your options are displayed for you to choose from.
