How do you (Hard)

How would you go abou making a sub componet for control panels.

It's a *.cpl extension for a control pannel add-in.
Do a search in the registry and there is a location that lists all of them.

I would guess that just 1 registry entry would add a shortcut to your app in the control pannel this way.

Oh by the way, it is lazy, but it saves the programmer time & after adopting to crap like :

x = $("hello world")

rather than :
Dim x as string
x = "hello world"

after a while, they get use to it and it becomes their normal way of typing code - bad for people like me that have to update apps written like this

[ExtremePimpness]

but even if you add it to the control panel. Is it just like a sceen saver in that you just add .cpl instead of .exe? will it work that way?

[ExtremePimpness]

I tried to compile it with the .cpl extension and it did absolutly nothing. except display an hour glass. I fyou want to see the . cpl files they are located in the c:\windows\system directory.
