What is the path for the personalize control panel in Windows 7?

Normally, these are stored as CPL files on the computer, but I can't find the CPL file for this exact functionality.

If it isn't stored as a file, can you show me what I can type in (in Run) to launch it?

How did you figure out the path of that? Is there anywhere where I can see these forms of commands? – Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen – 2011-01-22T20:30:22.050
