Hi all
I service computers and use a program on USB to perform audits. As a part of my task, I also need to access Run Advertised Programs, Configuration Manager (if RAP is not showing any programs) plus other tasks. Rather than open Control Panel every time, it would be handy to e able to create icons on the desktop of each machine I access (e.g. I alsready use VBA to create a shortcut to Windows update). The aim of this is simply to avoid the axtra keystrokes required to open Control Panel. Dones anyone know the shortcuts?

Hi,
Please follow the links and see if they are any help to your issue:
How to Create a Windows 7 Programs and Features Shortcut
Script to run Advertised Program
Run Advertised Programs - Dropdown List
Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If there is anything unclearly, as this is more System Center Configuration Manager related, I suggest you create a thread in our System Center Configuration Manager forum.
Hope this helps.
Regards,Sabrina

Hi Stevie,
This is excellent, I've searched for these things on Internet and I wish I've seen this page may be three months ago when I've initially googled it.
