    this wont help you directly but
    "c:\windows\control.exe" is the control panel program. that may help you in some way

    Don't know if this would work but you could set it up like you would a self-running demo, if you could open the control panel using key-strokes to could simulate user input by sending it a series of vbkeyleft and downs or whatever you would need to highlight the appropriate icon and then send a vbkeyreturn

    this way wouldn't be very versatile though cause not all control panels have the same icons in the same order

    This should Open Internet Options:
    Shell "control.exe inetcpl.cpl"
