Although the Control Panel looks just like another Program Manager group, it is really a parent application containing DLL calls to various Window's configuration functions. If you wish to execute just one of these icons within Control Panel, simply run the Control Panel followed by the icon name. For instance, to set the Date & Time, place the following in the Command Line:
C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE Date/Time
In some cases, this may not work (we don't know why). The *.CPL file can be specified on the command line also.
If you want to use the same icon, you can pull the icons from the different *.CPL files found in the Windows system directory. For example, the Date/Time icon is found in the MAIN.CPL file.
When you run an icon in this manner, nothing else is accessible in the Control Panel. For an even cleaner look, specify the hidden window state. This will hide the Control window, but leave the icon window visible.
