Control Panel shortcuts..
Searching for the shortcut to device manager..i came across these nice shortcuts for several control panel settings options for easy access..To run each of these settings,
Fire up **run** (win key + r) and type in the **Shortcut** (e.g : devmgmt.msc) and the configuration dialogue pops up ;) Here is the list of shortcuts :
