If you’re like me, you don’t use the Control Panel in Windows often enough to remember how to navigate to it in a hurry. If so, there is a fast and easy way to open the Control Panel whenever you need it without having to click through all the menus to get there:
1 – Click “Start”, then “Run”.
2 - In the dialog box, type the word control and press the “Enter” key.
Walla, you now have the Control Panel open on your desktop. With a little practice you’ll soon be able to open this rarely used, yet vitally important utility in just a few seconds.
Simple!
