Windows has built-in utilities and control panels that can be accessed quickly and easily. One of the most powerful yet underrated ways to do this is by using the *.cpl command.

In this post I want to summarize these commands in Windows entering at a command prompt or the Run box.

The *.cpl file extension stands for these control panel tools.
