Put Control Panel on Your Desktop Right-Click Menu<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This tip is for Windows 10 (all versions – but especially handy for Windows 10 Creators Update and Fall Creators Update)<\/p>\n

Microsoft is bound and determined to get rid of Control Panel in Windows 10 and replace it with Settings. But not so fast. Many Control Panel items are still not included in settings, so it looks like Control Panel will be around a big longer. And, if you use Settings a lot you’ve probably notice when you click certain items in Settings, you end up in Control Panel. Microsoft will eventually get everything moved out of Control Panel and into the Settings app, but as of this writing, they are nowhere close to getting that done.<\/p>\n

Those of you with Windows 10 Creators Update and Fall Creators Update have noticed that Control Panel is missing from the Win X menu (right-click the Start button \u2013 that\u2019s the Win X menu, which can also be launched by pressing the Windows Key + X).<\/p>\n

You can access Control Panel without a shortcut. Just press Windows Key + R , type CONTROL in the run box and press Enter. Control Panel will open. While Control Panel is open, you can right-click on its icon in the taskbar and choose \u201cPin to taskbar\u201d if you want a permanent shortcut to Control Panel on your taskbar.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019ve made a reg file that will add Control Panel (with options) to your desktop right-click menu. See?<\/p>\n

If you download and run our reg file (link below), you\u2019ll have Control Pane, and the options shown above, \u00a0on your desktop right-click menu too.<\/p>\n

You can download the reg file that will make this happen, by\u00a0clicking this link<\/u><\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve downloaded it, unzip it, then double-click it on the file named ControlPanelContextMenu.reg . You\u2019ll need to click Yes on the warning to allow the Registry Editor to open.<\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/p>\n

Then you\u2019ll get another warning telling you that you can really mess up your computer monkeying around in your registry. If you want Control Panel on your desktop right-click menu, click \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you did everything right, you\u2019ll see this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you did everything according to the instructions above, from now on, when you right-click on your desktop, you\u2019ll see Control Panel in your right-click menu with the option so open Control Panel in Category View, Large Icon View, \u00a0or as a list. We prefer Large Icon View.<\/p>\n
