Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone knows where or how I can get hold of the CLSID (GUIDs) for the Control Panel Applets in Category View in the image below:
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you.
Regards,
Andrew
Check tutorials section on this board. Recall seeing one there.
HTH
CLSID Key (GUID) Shortcuts List for Windows 10
from
Windows 10 Tutorial Index
- search for clsid (& bookmark this)
- but I don't think it will help with those- hope I'm wrong..
Hello Andrew,
You might see if this below for command to open Control Panel items (applets) may help for what you want.
List of Commands to Open Control Panel Items in Windows 10
Thank you, Brink.
But I do not see how to make use of those open applet commands to achieve what I want.
It's OK, thank you for your suggestion Brink.

Andrew
Andrew,
I suppose it depends on what you wanted to use the CSLIDs for.
What I posted was just something that can be used as an alternative for opening those CP items.
Hi Brink,
It is basically for icon customisation purpose. I need to know those Control Panel Applets' GUIDs in order to change where they look for their icons.
Regards,
Andrew
Those icons are not Shortcuts but one could right-click an item and Create a Shortcut on the Desktop then change the icon for that new shortcut. The shortcuts can't be stored in Control Panel itself but a Folder could be created to hold those customized icons.
