Do you want some handy shortcuts for the most important Windows 7 tools? If so, here is a list of some very handy shortcuts.
Built-in Windows 7 System Tools Paths
You can start any of the following programs by entering the .exe or cpl name of the program into the search field on your Start menu.
Example: Enter winver.exe, wscui.cpl, appwiz.cpl
For example if you want to know your Windows version you simply enter winver.exe. System tools that are executables (.exe) don’t require the extension, but .cpl programs require it. You can enter winver, but you can’t enter appwiz to launch the system tool.
