How Do I Create A Control Panel Shortcut

How Do I Create A Control Panel Shortcut

....that points to a specific area within the control panel?

I'm trying to use Desktop X to create a simple shorcut to  - Control Panel\System and Security\System - and I can't seem to get it to work. Is this possible? If so, could someone clue me in on how to do it?

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you :karma:

What are you grinning about RND?
 

 

The link in reply 21 is one of my skins. Sorry, I didn't think to say what it was.  :blush:

@Skarny - I got the link from the store to install it. It says it's version 4.00.017 when I check the 'about' section of the program - not 3.5 as the download would indicate it should be.


I'm at a loss. I've tried disabling UAC and my antivirus. Even installed it on XP Pro via VMWare - it still doesn't export it correctly for me. I wish I had a copy of 3.5 to try it with, but I don't.

I'll have to see if I can try this on a totally different computer. Unfortunately, I don't have an extra one laying around so......  :'(

Thanks, everyone, for trying to help. It is very much appreciated

Oh, and that's a really nice clock RND :D

UPDATE  : I was able to uninstall DX Pro 4x and install version 3.5 via impulse. It's working now.


Thanks again everyone. Your help and kindness is to be commended. k6

BTW you can use Ctrl+MouseWheel in some browsers to zoom the screen.

Try turning on the 'Windows 7 Control Panel God Mode'

How do you do that?

I am extremely disappointed in Stardock for still having the BROKEN, USELESS, Waste of HDD space that is DX 4 available for download. Come on guys, Its crap, everyone who has tried it knows that and so does SD. Why is it still here causing problems for those of us who still love DX and want it to survive? If all we have is DX 3.5 then so be it, but PLEASE, fix 4.0 or throw the thing in the trash. At the very least, remove it until it's problems can be addressed. We'll wait and use what we have until then.

I love all my Stardock programs and will continue to recommend them to others but I simply don't understand why SD is offering known broken software to it's customers.

/End Rant. Thanks for letting me unload here.

Wiz.
