Publishing Control Panel Applets

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.
