in my desktop menu, I would like to keep the old "properties" button there for old-fashioned ease :) but whatever I try, I cant get a button that redirects to the display properties in the control panel

*popup "control panel" !PopupControlPanel works fine, it gives a menu with the control panel... but I cant reach the control panel through the filemanager (exploder) or through anything else I tried, let alone popping up the display properties right away

is it possible at all, or will I just have to learn to live with no display properties button? :) Tia for your input

*Popup "Display Properties" desk.cpl

That should work on 2K. Check your system32 folder and you should find desk.cpl or it could be display.cpl.

or something about *Popup "Properties" "control desk.cpl" for win95/98 (desk or display - I don't remember too :-) )...
