Access Windows OS elements

[highend]

Displays a filterable inputselect() window that shows a few system management tools of Windows (10)

It gives easy access to e.g. environment variables, device manager, indexing options, user accounts, etc...

The script contains two links where additional functionality is presented (and there are a lot more sites that list them).
Depending on the used OS not all options will work (tabs are numbered in some dialogs and they can change on OS and version (Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.).

You are free to extend / delete any entries with functionality that you need^^

Some entries require admin permissions, that's why I'm using hstart (https://www.ntwind.com/software/hstart.html) here.
I own an old version of it that was iirc freeware in former times. If that isn't the case anymore, you need to get a different
cli starter (maybe: http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/) but I didn't test any other. The quoting would probably need some changes...

Current version: v0.1

Nice idea highend - being able to quickly access many of the Windows 10 options and with being able to add, modify or delete them as you see fit. It reminded me of Control Panel - All Access or some called it God Mode.
run "%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}";}

I have that old freeware version of hstart from the good old days. I think it was you that recommended it a few years back.

Yeah, I know the god mode but my personal script is a bit shorter (I only need access to maybe 10 entries) than the one I've posted and it makes selecting items easier because I can just type away and because I can define the name of the entries they are easier to remember (for me ofc).

Additionally, the entry can be added as the first one so that it's only invoking the script and hitting return to get that one...

Code: Select all

God Mode                           |run "explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}";
...

I meant to mention also that many of the above settings and many more can be accessed by using commands like run "ms-settings:about"; or run "ms-settings:network-status"; See https://www.askvg.com/list-of-commands- ... indows-10/ for a huge listing. You don't need hstart in that case.

URL = Access denied

Probably a page that needs a login?

[klownboy]

I have no login for the site. Try using https://www.askvg.com/ to see if you can access the site. If you can, then type "list of commands" in the search box.

It didn't like my vpn connection, problem solved...

Btw, don't use site names as link, always add the protocol, otherwise the forum software will transform it into:
askvg.com (hover over the link...)

Yeah thanks. I usually don't do that. I think I did because I typed only that into Chrome and it worked. Plenty of decent info on that site anyway.
