How to launch the Control Panel in XYplorer?

Hello.
All folders open for me using XYplorer except the Control Panel. It starts in Windows Explorer.
Is there a way to add it so I can view it in XYplorer? Thank you very much for your time.
Have a nice day,
Piotrek

The control panel entries aren't real folders...

I know. Maybe I worded the question wrong. But is it possible to display it somehow in XYplorer?

As long as you only mean "access them"? Sure, via scripting like:
Code: Select all
// Control_RunDLL is CASE-SENSITIVE!
$commands = <<<>>>
God Mode |run "explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}";
Add/Remove Programs |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl,,0);
Control Panel |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL);

Taskbar Properties |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Options_RunDLL 1);
User Accounts |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL nusrmgr.cpl);
Unplug/Eject Hardware |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll);

Windows Firewall |run lax("rundll32.exe" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL firewall.cpl);

>>>;
$commands = regexreplace($commands, "^[ \t]+");
$sel = inputselect("Select tool...", $commands, <crlf>, 32+64+1024, , 600, 600);
if ($sel) { load $sel, , "s"; }

There is also a GUID that can be used a a pseudo-path like this right in the address bar: ::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} It will launch the Control Panel in Explorer.

How about: Tools - Tools Special - Control Panel. Or have I missed to OP's question?

...or #640; in address bar (you may need :: in front of that depending on your settings)

Thank you very much. Unfortunately none of these solutions work for me.
The script has a lot of errors, GUID from Admin and #640 shows that the address was not found. Clicking on Tools - Tools Special - Control Panel opens the Control Panel but in the system explorer

I'm not saying it's your fault or anything. I'll post a screenshot tomorrow, okay? Today I no longer use my laptop.

No. From what I remember, there were errors written in yellow under the lines of code.
