Opening ControlPanel by doubleclick on Shortcut does not work
Posted: 27 Mar 2026 06:48
I created a shortcut to the Network Adapter view in Control Panel (of my Win10). In detail the target is
ncpa.cpl
resp.
C:\Windows\System32\ncpa.cpl
When I double click on it in XYplorer on my notebook it does not work. Nothing happens
But:
When I double click on it (a copy of the shortcut file) in XYplorer on my Deskptop it works
When I double click on it in built-in Windows Explorer on my Notebook it works
When I right-click on it in XYplorer on my Notebook and select "open with Control Panel" from context menu it works
So why does double clicking not work?
There must be a different setting between my XYPlorer on my Desktop and on my Notebbok.
