Windows Control Panel Key Board Shotcuts: PART 1

Hi Friends!

Today, we will see one of the most common way to impress people around us using our keyboard skills. Say for example, will it not be cool to open Network Connections with command prompt rather than by taking your mouse to task bar, right -clicking and then selecting 'Open Network and Sharing Center' and then clicking 'Change adapter settings'? So lets get started:

Here, I will enumerate the commands which you will have to type on the Run window.
To open Run, press Windows(logo) at the keyboard + R (it's not capital 'r', it's how it's printed on keyboard!)

Now let's get started:

#1: The most common use of Control Panel is to check network adapter settings
         Network properties     :     ncpa.cpl (and hit Enter)

#2: Many times your keyboard does not work and you are in dire need of keypad. Don't worry, windows      provides you with 'On-Screen Keyboard'. To open it
        On-Screen Keyboard   :     osk (and hit Enter)

       You can also go to Keyboard properties:  main.cpl keyboard (and hit Enter)

#3: Continuing on the same path, you can set your system's mouse properties
        Mouse properties        :       main.cpl (and hit Enter)

#4: System properties is one of the most common control panel tool used: to know your domain, device manager, remote desktop connection settings, system restore...
        System properties       :       sysdm.cpl (and hit Enter)

#5: Removing/ Uninstalling a program is also a very common operation.
        To navigate directly to 'Add / Remove Programs' : appwiz.cpl (and hit Enter)

I am dividing this posts into two posts. Don't worry, the next set of short cuts will be there very soon!
