Windows Control Panel Key Board Shotcuts: PART 2


Hi Friends!

Keeping my promise, here is the part 2 on keyboard short cuts:

#1: Setting up of internet Properties/ Local Area Settings , just use the folloeing shortcut
       Internet Properties      :        inetcpl.cpl (and hit Enter)

#2: While making ppts for your academics, many times you would require to copy fonts downloaded from internet into the fonts folder. Going through traditional way: Click Start-> Control Panel-> Large icons -> Fonts....  now all this is just 2 secs away (to be candid, it depends upon your typing speed)
       Fonts                         :      fonts (and hit Enter, just your typing speed)

#3: To set the appearance of your display like Resolution and Orientation, use the following
       Screen Resolution      :      desk.cpl (and hit Enter)

#4: As a true user of your system, you should be aware about all the programs which are eating up your disk space and continuously erasing the unnecessary ones. Common place where temporary files are kept is "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp". This is surely gonna take some time to browse between the folders. Instead try this out:
      Temporary folder        :     %temp% (and hit Enter)

#5: Last but not the least, let's focus on Sound properties. To set your sound properties, use the following shortcut
       Sound                        :     'mmsys.cpl' or 'mmsys.cpl sounds' (any one without quotes,
                                               and as usual hit Enter)

So friends, here we are, equipped with some more interesting things(this time shortcuts) about our PC. I find the 'osk' and 'inetcpl' quite useful, osk while in cyber cafe entering passwords(protection from key loggers), and 'inetcpl' to configure LAN during my college days.

Hope, you will start using keyboard more and less mouse.

Leave a comment in case you come up with some more common shortcuts.
