component of <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Windows" title="Microsoft Windows">Microsoft Windows</a> that provides the ability to view and change system settings. It consists of a set of applets that include adding or removing <a href="/wiki/Computer_hardware" title="Computer hardware">hardware</a> and <a href="/wiki/Software" title="Software">software</a>, controlling <a href="/wiki/User_account" class="mw-redirect" title="User account">user accounts</a>, changing <a href="/wiki/Computer_accessibility" title="Computer accessibility">accessibility</a> options, and accessing networking settings. Additional applets are provided by third parties, such as audio and video drivers, VPN tools, input devices, and networking tools. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Control_Panel_(Windows)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Control Panel has been part of Microsoft Windows since <a href="/wiki/Windows_1.0" title="Windows 1.0">Windows 1.0</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with each successive version introducing new applets. Beginning with <a href="/wiki/Windows_95" title="Windows 95">Windows 95</a>, the Control Panel is implemented as a <a href="/wiki/Special_Folders" class="mw-redirect" title="Special Folders">special folder</a>, i.e. the folder does not physically exist, but only contains <a href="/wiki/Computer_shortcut" class="mw-redirect" title="Computer shortcut">shortcuts</a> to various applets such as <i>Add or Remove Programs</i> and <i>Internet Options</i>. Physically, these applets are stored as <i>.cpl</i> files. For example, the <i>Add or Remove Programs</i> applet is stored under the name <i>appwiz.cpl</i> in the <i>SYSTEM32</i> folder. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Windows_ME" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows ME">Windows ME</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windows_XP" title="Windows XP">XP</a>, the Control Panel home screen was changed to present a categorized navigation structure reminiscent of navigating a <a href="/wiki/Web_page" title="Web page">web page</a>. Users can switch between this <i>Category View</i> and the grid-based <i>Classic View</i> through an option that appears on either the left side or top of the window. In <a href="/wiki/Windows_Vista" title="Windows Vista">Windows Vista</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windows_7" title="Windows 7">Windows 7</a>, additional layers of navigation were introduced, and the Control Panel window itself became the main interface for editing settings, as opposed to launching separate dialogs. </p><p>Many of the individual Control Panel applets can be accessed in other ways. For instance, <i>Display Properties</i> can be accessed by right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop and choosing <i>Properties</i>. The Control Panel can be accessed from a command prompt by typing <i>control</i>; optional parameters are available to open specific control panels.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On <a href="/wiki/Windows_10" title="Windows 10">Windows 10</a>, Control Panel is deprecated in favor of <a href="/wiki/Settings_(Windows)" title="Settings (Windows)">Settings app</a>, which was originally introduced on <a href="/wiki/Windows_8" title="Windows 8">Windows 8</a> as "PC settings" to provide a touchscreen-optimized settings area using its <a href="/wiki/Metro-style_app" class="mw-redirect" title="Metro-style app">Metro-style app</a> platform. Some functions, particularly the ability to add and remove user accounts, were moved exclusively to this app on Windows 8 and cannot be performed from Control Panel.<sup id="cite_ref-pcw-addingmanaging8_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pcw-addingmanaging8-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ars-wblue_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ars-wblue-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As of the October 2020 update to Windows 10, opening up the <i>System</i> applet in Control Panel will now redirect users to the <i>About</i> section of the Windows 10 Settings application. The page for the applet in Control Panel still exists even in current versions of Windows 10, however Microsoft is actively trying to block shortcuts and third party applications that could have been used to get into the old <i>System</i> page, which could potentially lead to a permanent removal of said page from Control Panel in future versions of Windows.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Each applet is stored individually as a separate file (usually a .cpl file), folder or <a href="/wiki/Dynamic-link_library" title="Dynamic-link library">DLL</a>, the locations of which are stored in the <a href="/wiki/Windows_registry" class="mw-redirect" title="Windows registry">registry</a> under the following keys: </p> <ol><li><b>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls</b><br />This contains the string format locations of all .cpl files on the hard drive used within the control panel.</li> <li><b>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\Namespace</b><br />This contains the location of the <a href="/wiki/CLSID" class="mw-redirect" title="CLSID">CLSID</a> variables for all the panels not included as cpl files. These are commonly folders or shell applets, though <a href="/wiki/Windows_Vista" title="Windows Vista">Windows Vista</a> allows physical programs themselves to be registered as well. The CLSID then allows items such as the icon, infobox and category to be set and gives the location of the file to be used.</li></ol> <p>The control panel then uses these lists to locate the applets and load them into the control panel program (control.exe) when started by the user. In addition to using the control panel, a user can also invoke the applets manually via the <a href="/wiki/Cmd.exe" title="Cmd.exe">command processor</a>. For instance, the syntax "<i>Control.exe inetcpl.cpl</i>" or "<i>control.exe /name Microsoft.InternetOptions</i>" will run the internet properties applet in Windows XP or Vista respectively.
