Is there a quick way to get to the Control Panel in Windows 8?


Obviously in all previous versions of Windows you could simply click START and then select "Control Panel" to get to it, but on Windows 8 there is no such option.


Is there an easy way to quickly get to it without having to press WIN, type "Control Panel", and then press Enter?



Answer



Win+I and then Enter. Win+I is standard way to open an app's settings panel, on desktop that will bring up a panel with Control Panel and Personalization as options. So this works for desktop only, but is a nice shortcut to use in apps as well.


Or you can do Win+X and then press P. P as in Control P̲anel. This works everywhere. When pressing Win+X, notice the underline of some of the letters. Pressing the underlined letter will open up the belonging option.
