HOW TO ADD CONTROL PANEL TO THE DESKTOP RIGHT-CLICK MENU

Having access to the control panel from the context menu (Desktop right-click menu) seems logical. However, by default, this option is not there. This registry hack will allow you to add a control panel option when you right click on desktop.Follow these simple steps to create the option in right-click menu:


1.Click on windows start and type "run" and press enter.

2.Type "regedit" and click ok.

3.A dialogue box appears asking "Do you want to allow the following program to make any changes to this computer?" .press "yes".

4.It will open Registry Editor.

5.Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell. Once you are there right-click on "shell" and create a new key called called Control Panel.

6.Now right click on Control Panel and create new key called command.

7.After creating command open it. (i.e click on it).There you will find 
                  Name             Type                 Data

                  (Default)          REG_SZ          value not set

8.Right-click on (Default) and a window appears.Then change the value data field (i.e paste the following code there)

9."rundll.32.exe shell32.dll,Control_runDLL" copy this and click ok.

10.You can now see the new Control Panel item in the context menu.If you want to remove this simply delete Control Panel Key.
