    How do you get to Control Panel via Run?

    I have Win 7 Ult x64 and the links in Control Panel don't work so I can't get to Device Manager.

    I know you can get to any Control Panel item by putting a command in the Start > Run dialog but I've forgotten what syntax is.

    Anyone know? I need Device Manager!

    Thanks - rev

    There's a bunch here but no Device Manager.

    I think I might be able to get there with sysdm.cpl

    The machine I'm posting with is not Win 7 so I can't test just yet but I might be able to get to Device Manager from System. I don't think it's a hyperlink that takes you there, I think it's a tab.

    If you just need to get to device manager, run devmgmt.msc

    Thanks.

    I discovered that you can enter 'Device Manager' in the Start > Search Programs field, then click the result to get there.

    You can also use Windows key + Pause, then click on Device Manager in the left-hand pane.
