How to create Gesture for launching Control Panel's cpl
October 10, 2010 05:07AM
This's my first post. :)

I always need to open Control Panel to configure some stuffs, like intl.cpl for modifying languages. I wonder if we can create a gesture to launch any of the cpls?

TIA for helping.

Thanks LEO,
So how to set up this Gesture ?

i know I can 'Run' this code

rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,1

and bring up the intl.cpl panel. But how to use a Strokeit Gesture to open the Start\Run dialog, or even
open the intl.cpl without me to input the rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,1 ?

Sorry I am not a programmer. :P

TIA.

OK,
I finally figure out a way by using Keys Send Keystrokes

[WIN]R [Enter] rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,1 [Enter]

:)
Thanks!

While your solution should work, a more elegant approach would be to create a "Run - Run Program" command with "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" (or whatever its path is) as File and "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,1" as arguments.
