Don't know how far you were intending on taking this but for what they're worth:
Game Controllers | joy.cpl
Package Installer | dpinst
Pen & Touch Options | tabletpc.cpl
People Near Me Identifier | collab.cpl
Screen Resolution | desk.cpl
Un-install Programs | appwiz.cpl

A possible life saver. Bookmarked.

Earlier today I needed msconfig but it has been so long since I used it that I couldn't remember the name. Ended up downloading Ultimate Windows Tweaker which did what I wanted but it is always nerve wracking downloading such utilities (there are so many with malware).

Thanks again.:thumbsup:

I love the post and all the detail that went into it. I'm not a windows guy to say the least, been an Linux admin going on 6 years now, but new job gave me 20 windows 7 servers/workstations to maintain.

The issue I'm having is that when a client is logged on to one of my machines I can not login to check anything. If I attempt to login it boots the user off then I get yelled at :D

Question: I do not understand the " /name " variable. What is supposed to go there? nobody explains that part lol.

I use the following quite often to get minimal info about my systems: " tasklist /S system-name /U user-name /P password"

I'm wanting to pull up the device manager from a workstation while a user is logged in without booting them off.

I tried the following syntax: " control /devmgmt.msc /S system-name /U user-name /P password " but I get nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's probably best to start a new thread within the Help sections of the forum, many people don't read the posts about tutorials.

Even though I'm sure this is in a new thread. You could try using the psexec command line tool. Its part of the pstools package.
