I want my user to be able to press a button and start a given control panel item, such as the Set Associations window. Must work for any Windows version, but the path would lead here:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations
I am using C#/WPF to do this, but can't find information on how to do this for a specific Control Panel page like above and that works for all Windows versions.
Thanks!
UPDATE
The following works to access a page:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\Windows\\System32\\control.exe", "/name Microsoft.DefaultPrograms /page pageFileAssoc");
You should use Process class to run a canonical address of the control panel item you want to show. You can show control panel window by executing c:\windows\system32\control.exe then you should add the canonical name as parameters for this process.
public static void Main()
{
Process myProcess = new Process();
try
{
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\\windows\\system32\\control.exe";
myProcess.Start();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
see here for more info on canonical names.
