Run control panel items

[blaher]

I'm trying to run an unusual shortcut, if you make a new folder and name it: All Settings.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} it'll jump directly to all the control panel items. You can then create shortcuts to each item on your desktop, but how can I run those shortcuts in EG? The normal start application gives an error.

Thanks.

... but how can I run those shortcuts in EG? The normal start application gives an error.

For example, the following manner:

Code: Select all

import os
os.startfile("C:\Users\<USER>\Desktop\All Settings.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}")

Thanks a lot, that Python script works well to bring up all control panel options, but is there a way to run the shortcuts created from that page? It's a bit weird...

Eg. to get to this page:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier to use

this is what the shortcut looks like:

This is exactly the same.
1. Create a shortcut
2. Shift + Right click and "Copy as path"
3. Paste the clipboard contents between brackets in the expression "os.startfile()"

Thanks very much again. That shift right click is a great trick. I couldn't see how to copy the shortcut path without it.
Works well now.
