Windows – How to open “special locations” in Windows, like “Control Panel” from the command line

command linenvidia-graphics-cardspecial-locationswindows

If one opens Windows Explorer and then enters "Control Panel" in the location bar, then the Windows Control Panel will start. Similarly, the location string "Control Panel\NVIDIA Control Panel" starts the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Is there a way to access this from the command line? The following does not work:

explorer "Control Panel\NVIDIA Control Panel"

Best Answer

Just run control.

Open File with Default Application from Command Line

Try this.

START "" "path to my file"

The START command treats the first set of "" as the text to use for the title of the window, so just include an empty pair.
