Default Control Panel Location

My undersatanding is that the Windows Mobile Control Panel is made up of 3 files: "Ctlpnl.exe, Control.exe, and collection of Control Panel (.cpl) files"
Code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa932174.aspx

I have found dozens of articles saying how to link directly to a Control Panel item, but not directly to the Control Panel itself.


How would I create a shortcut directly to the Control Panel?


Thanks.

EDITED:

SORRY, I misunderstood your question. You want to run complete control panel, not just specific item.
Well, there is ControlPanel.exe on samsung omnia i900 that do exactly what you want: opens the complete windows control panel.
I could upload it if you want to try it.

unfortunately I do not have a Control Panel.exe. I have searched the windows directly for something that even looks similar. No dice.

wow! No shh#%. That worked! Thank you so much!


Edit: Thats odd. It opened once and not again. It attempts to open but doesn't do anything.

Edit: soft Reset has it working agian so far. Will post back if it doesn't.

But thank you so much for your help with this! You saved me tons of headaches.
