Check this path and try to add new keys to a CPL file .

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel

Control panel is automatically loaded from system32 folder.Add your app there .Check Windows\System32 to see all CPL files that exist in Control Panel.
you have to find CPL File maker .I tried to change exe file to cpl but won't run at all .
