Carey--
I found it. In the run box, or any other command prompt, "control
appwiz.cpl" will bring up the control panel.
Also there are a number of others on this Tech TV web page. It is really
unfortunate that Comcast-G4 controlled by Comcast's purchase of Tech TV has
been abruptly killing off almost all their shows. I hope they keep the
great web sites up. Here are the commands I found at where there are a good
many more control pannel commands.
