Click to expand...

I am not sure exactly what you want to see, but if you go to Start,
Run and type in sysdm.cpl you can see the System Properties tab/
options. I don't think the stuff is actually in some folder, but I'm
sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

There are a lot of Windows .cpl and .msc files that run things you
might have to click through various menus to get to. All that
clicking can be annoying. If you know the right commands, you can
just run them from Start, Run. These files are generally located in
the \windows\system32 folder. Explore it and you will recognize the
icons for the .msc files at least. Files with either of these
extensions will execute when double clicked.

Once you find the ones you like, you can add them to your Quick Launch
area (I added Services and Event Viewer to mine) or copy and paste
them in a convenient desktop folder of good tools for quicker access,
that Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools... One
click is plenty for me.

If you use google to search for something like:

list of .msc commands
or
list of .cpl commands

You will find lots of lists to get you started. You can also learn
what the files extensions .cpl and .msc mean.
