Posted December 27, 201311 yr Is it possible to add a shotcut ofcontrol panel for desktop icons(such my computer, mydocuments, internet exploreretc. ) so that after the installationof window control panel icon isalso shown with other desktopicons.
December 27, 201311 yr Yes it should be simple, give me a few days to fix my PC and I can make an option (same as my ie icon on desktop tweak) in the folder options for CPL icon on desktop (or use the ie tweak as an example to make the cpl one)
