What does that title mean? Basically I’m going to explain here how to add a link to your control panel on the right click menu from your desktop, it is just another handy shortcut to the control panel.

You need to do a registry edit here so backup your registry;

  • Open regedit
  • Navigate to this location
    • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
  • Create a new key here called Control Panel
  • In the Control Panel key create a new key called command
  • Modify the default value in the command key and put this;
    • rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
Add Control Panel on Desktop Right Click

You will now be able to see the shortcut if you right click your desktop. If you need to get rid of the shortcut for any reason just go and delete the Control Panel key.
