Title: Running Control Panel Applets
Question: How can I run control panel applets that are inside a cpl?
Answer:
I was once asked how to run the 'hidden' control panel applets like the sound association panel and keyboard panel. As these are hidded inside cpl's.
Well I found the answer from the windows information base.
Below is a sample setup for running the sound pannel
function RunControlPanelApplet(const sAppletFileName: string): integer;
begin
Result := WinExec(PChar('rundll32.exe shell32.dll,' +
'Control_RunDLL ' + sAppletFileName), SW_SHOWNORMAL);
End;
then call like this in a button click property
RunControlPanelApplet('mmsys.cpl,Sounds');
To use the extended put a ',' straight after the cpl then the name of the panel you want eg Sounds

telephon.cpl,Telephony
