Ctlpnl.exe want even open even if I dont modify that shortcut. I placed it as a shortcut and tried to open it. At least i figured it would go to the control panel, but nothing happens. So i then tried what you stated assuming i understood correctly...in Example......
"\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl, 3" now not only will the .exe not open its now recognized as a .exe anymore.
