To reduce the number of clicks required to get to the Control Panel applets, add the applets to the Start menu.

1. Right-click the Start button and select Explore.

2. Right-click in Explorer's right pane (you should see Programs listed there).

3. Select New/Folder.

4. Type in Control Panel.{21EC
