Greetings

Control from the command prompt is used to open .cpl files that are in the
path variable.
Here is a link that lists some examples ...

How to Open Control Panel Folders from the Command Prompt
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -US;180025

You do not need to open a command prompt, Just the Run box.

Open Control Panel...
Start | Run | control | OK

Open Folder Options...
Start | Run | control folders | OK

Some will open without using control (quicker to type).
i.e. Start | Run | sysdm.cpl | OK
-----

Here are a few...

control admintools Administrative Tools

Control color Display Properties @Screen Saver tab

control date/time Date and Time Properties

control desktop Display Properties

control folders Folder Options

control fonts Fonts Folder

control international Regional and Language Options

control keyboard Keyboard Control Panel

control main.cpl @X Mouse Control Panel

control main.cpl @1 Keyboard Control Panel

control mouse Mouse Control Panel

Control netconnections Network Connections

control printers Printers Folder

control schedtasks Add Scheduled Task

control Sysdm.cpl System Properties @General tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,1 System Properties @Computer Name tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,2 System Properties @Hardware tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,3 System Properties @Advanced tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,4 System Properties @System Restore tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,5 System Properties @Automatic Updates tab

control Sysdm.cpl,System,6 System Properties @Remote tab

control userpasswords User Accounts (Home version)

control userpasswords2 User Accounts (Pro version)
-----

Printers & Faxes for some reason doesn't have a *.cpl file.
Niether do Administrative Tools, Fonts, Scanners and Cameras, Scheduled
Tasks or Taskbar and Start Menu.

They are Namespace objects. Whatever that is. Has something to do with
being a shell folder with its own GUID.
-----

*.cpl files are Control Panel extensions, they show up in the Control Panel.

You may not have all of these and you may have some not listed here. This
is a list from my machine.

Control Panel cpl's:

access.cpl = Accessibility Options
appwiz.cpl = Add or Remove Programs
desk.cpl = Desktop Control Panel = Display Properties
hdwwiz.cpl = Add Hardware Control Panel Applet
inetcpl.cpl = Internet Control Panel = Internet Properties
intl.cpl = Regional and Language Options
irprops.cpl = Wireless Link Control Panel Applet
joy.cpl = Game Controllers
jpicpl32.cpl = JavaPlugin
main.cpl = Mouse Properties
mmsys.cpl = Sounds and Audio Device Properties
ncpa.cpl = Network Connections Control-Panel Stub
nusrmgr.cpl = Windows User Manager = Users Accounts
nvtuicpl.cpl = NVIDIA nView Control Panel, Version 52.16
nwc.cpl = Client Service for NetWare Applet
odbccp32.cpl = Microsoft Data Access - ODBC Control Panel
plotman.cpl = Autodesk Hardcopy Plotter Manager
powercfg.cpl = Power Management Configuration Control Panel Applet or Power
Options Properties
SanCpl.cpl = SiSoftware Sandra™ English Control Panel Extension (Win32
x86)(NT)(ANSI)
sapi.cpl = SAPI 5 = Speech Properties
styleman.cpl = Autodesk Hardcopy Plot Style Manager
sysdm.cpl = System Properties
telephon.cpl = Telephony Control Panel
timedate.cpl = Time Date Control Panel Applet
wuaucpl.cpl = Automatic Updates Control Panel (Added by SP2??)
Wscui.cpl = SP2 Security Center (SP2)

To open any *.cpl file, type the name in the Run box.
I.e. Start | Run | Type: desk.cpl | OK

Control.exe is NOT the control panel. It just translates short commands to
long commands.

That's a bit misleading as shell32 is far more than JUST the Control Panel.
I'd say the Control Panel is in Shell32.
