Windows Toolbox: Find It Visually With Visual Control Panel
If your Windows Control Panel is
overflowing with icons, you may need the Visual Control
Panel. This small, simple program provides easy access to
12 or 13 common Control Panel icons (the number depends on
your version of Windows) via a clickable picture. For
example, click the monitor to open Display Properties, or
click the keyboard to open Keyboard Properties. Makes
sense, no? For items not represented in the picture, you
can either use your old Control Panel or select the applet
from the File, Other Items menu. Visual Control Panel may
or may not suit your style, but
trying it
out can't hurt--it's free!
