Control+Escape then C

If you want to open the Control Panel in MacroScheduler that would be:

Press CTRL
Press ESC
Release CTRL
Sen>C

Hello Caomeisanhao,

This may or may not be what you are after if you are just wanting to open the control panel, then see the above tips.

If you are wanting to open a control panel item, then have a look at the link below.

Hello Caomeisanhao,

Not Sure What You Mean About Drucker.

If Its A Non Standard Windows Control Panel Option

There Should Still Be A .cpl File For The Control Panel Extention Located In C:\Windows\System32

Just Do A Simple Find Files & Search For *.cpl In C:\Windows\System32.

This Should Then Display The Control Panel Options & Just Select The One You Require.

Drucker is a german word and means printer. So he wants to install a new printer with the script.
