Thanks for that NumbNuts it worked a treat for Control Panel. :)
Hello C, :)
Screenshot of Win+X added to the examples at the top of the tutorial to help.
You normally won't see the underlined letters for the shortcut keys unless you press the Win+X keys to open the menu.
If the object is to get to Control Panel quickly, Win + Pause/Break followed by the Back key is good. If the Break key is separate or absent, it will normally then be the Pause key itself instead. Of course on many laptops to engage the Pause key pressing Fn is necessary.
So that's (at worst): Win + Fn + Pause, then Back.
Scarcely more complicated than: Win + X, then P (though use of the Back key makes the former seem oddly indirect).
Thanks Brink .
I understand that this thread is rather old but I was having this problem with a brand new laptop that my wife just got for me... I decided to use this simple suggested BAT file (code) to complete the task. BUT, my grand-kids use this laptop for their home schooling classes (and they are far FAR computer savvy than I am) and they don't like that the shortcut says "Settings" but goes to the "Control Panel" (which I wanted)... I should have just used "Brink's" tutorial and zip file to begin with (I never go wrong following his updates and fixes)!!! How can I "UNDO" what the BAT did? Thanks in advance for any help...

Hello Bulldog, and welcome to Ten Forums.
If you like, you can follow the steps in the tutorial to undo that and use what you wanted instead.
