If you need a shortcut to some specific tab of any control panel item, the shortcut should go to C:\Windows\Control.exe, or just enter "control" (space), then the name of the .cpl file (comma), name of the control panel item (in your language version, comma), number of the tab you want (front one = 0). For instance, for the listing of your hardware, try this:

control Sysdm.cpl,System,1

Also, there's a couple of items controlled by just one .cpl, main.cpl. For these, make it say:

control main.cpl @X

Replace the @X with:

@0 for the mouse properties item;
@1 for the keyboard properties item;
@2 for the printers item;
@3 for the fonts item.

If you have ever had problems with scandisk or defrag restarting due to disk writes, it is because Find Fast was indexing your hard drive in the background. It loads every time you start your computer up.
