Wine's builtin control does just launch the shell's version of the control panel, unless it's given an argument like "DESKTOP", "DATE/TIME", etc. See programs/control.c. Those string arguments to control aren't functional, because the control panel applets they reference don't exist in Wine. Launching control panel items via name is described in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776838.aspx See especially "Executing Control Panel Items", http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776841(VS.85).aspx You might try to make some of those that have an analogue work in Wine, especially the "Legacy Control Panel Commands" "desktop" and "color". --Juan
