Windows Vista Control Panel Canonical Names
As of Windows Vista, each Control Panel item is given a canonical name for use in programatically launching that item. This page lists each Control Panel item, its canonical name, and its GUID.The following are canonical names for Control Panel items found in Windows Vista that have been renamed or removed as of Windows 7. For compatibility with Windows Vista, all of these names are valid on Windows 7, but the experience can be different: Some items have been simply renamed and given new canonical names, retaining the same GUID. The old canonical name launches the Control Panel item, which may or may not use the same user interface (UI) seen in Windows Vista. The functionality of some items has been moved or consolidated with other items in a new item. In this case, the old canonical name maps to the most appropriate new Control Panel item
[Note that some users have reported problems when using some of these shortcuts, especially on systems running Windows Vista 64-bit. Use at your own risk.]
