How to launch Java control panel applet via command line


To launch windows control panel applet via command line.

You type "control" plus windows panel applet that has ".cpl" extensions.

But a third party application that is on the control panel does not have ".cpl" extensions.

So how would you launch those applications?

Why on earth would you need to launch the application via command line when there is a GUI?

If you're working in Active Directory domain environment you can’t just give the user an admin rights just for the sake of disabling something.

And users are requesting to disable the "Auto Update", early in the morning Java is asking for updates and they haven't finished their cup of coffee.

So what would you do?

Well, Java is quite friendly and they provide some command line tool to disable it.

Run the command prompt as "Administrator" key in the user domain admin details.

Once inside the elevated domain admin prompt.

Just type:
  
          javaws  -viewer

Voila! the control panel applet pops up and just one tick away to disable the "Auto Update".


That's it.. But it's not good to disable "Auto Update".. Anyway choice is yours option is there.


Cheers!!! Till next time…
