Notes:

  • By definition, canonical names do not change based on the system language; they’re always in English, even if the system’s language is not.
  • Not all Control Panel items are present in all varieties of Windows.
  • Some Control Panel items only appear if the right hardware is detected on the system.
  • Third parties can also add Control Panel items. The canonical names listed here are only for Control Panel items that are included with Windows.
  • You can find out which Control Panel files (.cpl) are available on your version of Windows by going to c:\Windows\System32. There you find all that are available.
  • You may open different tabs directly by adding ,x to the command, e.g. sysdm.cpl,4 to open the System Protection tab of the System Properties control panel applet. This works on the command prompt, but does not on Start or the Run Box.
  • You can run applets with elevated privileges by starting them from an elevated command prompt. Hold down Ctrl and Shift on the keyboard when you launch the Command Prompt to do so.
  • The canonical names used above may be used to reference these items in the Group Policy.

Notes for CPL applets:

  • Color is not available by default but is available for free from Microsoft. Download from MajorGeeks.
  • WinColor.exe must be run from the C:\Program Files\Pro Imaging Powertoys\Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for Windows XP folder.
  • Device Manager here being commonly used is not a true Control Panel applet in Windows XP. See How to Open Windows XP Device Manager for more information.
  • The Mail applet is only available if a version of Microsoft Office Outlook is installed.
  • Control mlcfg32.cpl command must be run from the C:\Programs Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX folder, replacing OfficeXX with the folder pertaining to the Microsoft Office version you have installed.
  • ODBC Data Source Administrator was removed from Control Panel after Windows XP but is still available from Administrative Tools.
  • In Windows 8, 7, and Vista, task scheduling is performed by Task Scheduler which is not directly accessible from Control Panel. However, executing this command in those versions of Windows will forward to Task Scheduler.
  • Software Explorers is the name for the Control Panel applet for Windows Defender, available for free here as part of Microsoft Security Essentials.
  • Msascui.exe must be run from the C:\Program Files\Windows Defender folder.
  • control sapi.cpl command must be run from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech folder.
  • Windows Defender is available in Windows XP but the Control Panel applet is instead called Software Explorers.
  • Windows Update is also used in Windows XP but only via the Windows Update website, not via a Control Panel applet like in later versions of Windows.
  • Bthprops.cpl in (Win 8) opens Devices in PC Settings which will list any Bluetooth Devices. In Windows 7, bthprops.cpl opens athe Bluetooth Devices list under Devices and Printers. In Windows Vista, bthprops.cpl opens a true Control Panel applet called Bluetooth Devices.
  • Create a GodMode Folder granting access to extra Control Panel features. Create new foldare and name it: God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
