If you don’t mind a cluttered desktop, you can make a shortcut

for the applets you access most. To do that, open the Control Panel.
Right-click the icon you want; from the shortcut menu, choose
“Create shortcut.” It automatically places it on the desktop for you.

You can install a certain Control Panel applet onto the Start
menu (right side), too! With Control Panel open, right-click the
icon you want; from the shortcut menu, choose Pin to Start.

You can even put an applet into the “Quick access” list that
appears in every File Explorer window. In the open Control Panel,

right-click the icon you want; from the shortcut menu, choose “Pin
to Quick access.”

Note

Sadly, Control Panel is no longer listed in the secret utility menu that appears when you right-click
the Start menu (or press +X).
