make your own shortcuts to control panel

[dienalive]

ok. im not good at giving directions but here is an easy way to make a shortcut to anything in start/settings(control panel applets). for example if you are sick of pressing start/settings/system/power to view battery info simply open up a semi advanced text editor(notepad on pc or I use cedit on ppc) and type in 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3 and save as a text object and save as like battery.lnk what it will do when pressed is take you to start/settings/sytem/power. or if u want to make a shortcut to take you right to bluetooth simply open the text editor and type in 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23 and save as a text object and save as bluetooth.lnk. viola. start/settings/connections/bluetooth/mode. very easy. even a noob can do this. here is a list of control panel applets I haverounded up. also I have included a zip with a few examples. hope some may find this useful.

This is a noob question, but how do you do the same for programs that you want to launch from your storage card that don't already have a shortcut in your Start Menu?
