DOCUMENT:Q158216 08-AUG-2001 [winnt] TITLE :Unable to Directly Access Any Applet In Control Panel PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER::3.5,3.51 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbother kbui ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51 - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***k Korean (Hangul) Windows NT 3.5 is not a localized version but an emulation version and all these Control Panel applets are in English, all Control Panel applets can be directly accessed. SYMPTOMS ======== In all Far East localized versions of Windows NT 3.5x, when you attempt to run a Control Panel applet by typing the following text in the New Task field of the Task List dialog box (invoked by Ctrl+Esc), the applet does not run. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, - run Control Panel applets from the Control Panel Program Group instead of from the Task List dialog box. -or- - type "Control .cpl" (without the quotation marks) instead of "Control :" (without the quotation marks) To learn what the file names are that correspond to the names that appear under the corresponding icon of the applet in Control Panel, search for all %SystemRoot%\System32*.cpl files on your system drive. For example, from a command prompt, type at the root directory of your system drive: " Dir *.cpl /s " (without the quotation marks) MORE INFORMATION ================ The following table lists Control Panel applet icon names in the left column along with their corresponding applet file names in parentheses if there is a standalone file available. Not all Control Panel applets have a standalone program .cpl file. Applet icon names followed by a single asterisk (*) are available only on Windows NT Server 3.5x (not available on Windows NT Workstation 3.5x), for example, the Licensing applet has an asterisk and is only available on Windows NT Server. Some applet icon names only appear in the Control Panel if the corresponding applications that don't ship with Windows NT, for example, Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), and Macfile, are installed on Windows NT. The second through the sixth column from the left each correspond to a localized version of Windows NT 3.5 and/or 3.51. If a version number is listed in the column title, that column only pertains to that version of Windows NT. The Yes and No entries under the second through the sixth column indicate whether you may run the applet listed in the same row under the first column by typing Control in the localized version: Applet Icon Name (applet file name) Traditional Simplified Chinese Chinese Japanese Korean3.5 Korean3.51 ------- ------- -------- --------- ---------- Color (Main.cpl) No No No Yes No Fonts No No No Yes No Ports No No No Yes No Mouse No No No Yes No Desktop No No No Yes No Keyboard No No No Yes No Printers No No No Yes No International (Intl.cpl***1) No No No Yes No System No No No Yes No Date/time No No No Yes No Console (Console.cpl) No No No No*2 No Cursors (Cursors.cpl) No No No Yes No Display (Display.cpl) No No No Yes No Licensing (Liccpa.cpl) * No No No Yes No Mail (Mlcfg32.cpl) No No No Yes No Sound (Multimed.cpl) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Drivers Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Network (Ncpa.cpl) No No No Yes No ODBC (Odbccp32.cpl) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Server (Srvmgr.cpl) ***3 No No No Yes No Services No No No Yes No Devices No No No Yes No UPS (Ups.cpl) Yes yes No Yes Yes GSNW/CSNW (Nwc.cpl) * Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Internet (Inetcpl.cpl) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Monitoring Agent (Bhctrl.cpl) No No No No No Macfile Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Tape Devices (ctape.cpl) ***4 (Cime.cpl) No No (Imesel.cpl) ***4 No No ***1: Not available in JPN Windows NT 3.5x version. *2: Not available in Korean Windows NT 3.5. ***3: Do not confuse with Srvmgr.exe which is for Server Manager.
