Citrix - Publishing Control Panel Applets

March 28, 2003 By: FRaNKy Category: Editorials No Comments →

When your clients have different keyboard mappings it might be handly to publish the control panel, or just one of the applets (.cpl) files.

To do this use these settings :

Command Line : rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL <Path>
Working Directory : C:\Winnt\System32 (assuming that is your systemdir)
Example : rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL c:\winnt\system32\intl.cpl

Some of the .cpl file’s you’ll find in your systemdir that may be of use in your Citrix environnement :

access.cpl Accessability Options
desk.cpl Display Properties
innetcpl.cpl Internet Properties
odbccp32.cpl ODBC Settings
sticpl.cpl Scanners & Cameras
timedate.cpl Time / Date Properties

Note that there are plenty more of cpl modules that you might find usefull and many programs in fact install their own. You might also want to allow/disallow the use of certain applets thru a group policy. You can find the policy under "User CFG / Administrative Templates / Control Panel / Show only specified control panel applets" and there enter the filenames of the cpl’s you want to make available to your users.
