Hi there,

I know that with "c:\windows\control.exe c:\windows\system\desk.cpl" I can launch the display Control Panel. Any ideas how I can (in a similar way) launch the printer Control Panel ?

Tnx and greetings,

Hans

The printer control panel is a shortcut to the Printers system folder which you can see in My Computer along with Control Panels etc. You can make a shortcut to it anywhere you like and open it by clicking on it.

That I know, but I would look to be able to launch it from e.g. a batch file, so I need a command to be able to launch it.

Well, if you create the shortcut and then click on its properties, you'll see the msdos name is printers.lnk--so if you insert a "start printers.lnk" command in a batch file somewhere, you'll open an explorer window to your printers...

C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE main.cpl @2

(0=mouse properties,1=keyboard properties,3=fonts)
