Even though it is an old post, i'm replying just bcos if anyone searching stumbles upon here then they will find the solution.

This is the thing you hav to write in the shortcut for backlight

24#ctlpnl mybacklight.cpl,0

It worked in my Atom.

This doesn't work for me, neither does the original shortcut syntax. i'm using WM6.1 on an HTC Mogul. I've tried almost every other shortcut in the list, and they work fine. It's just the backlight one giving me trouble.

there was another thread that I found and used the program they suggested to make the shortcut to the backlight settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340974&page=4

I am putting up some screen shots of exactly what I typed in to each field. Replace "test shortcut" with whatever you want your short cut name to be.

I assume that I am using a stock rom, as I have not made any changes to it. Hope this helps.
