Windows has been shipped with a Control Panel, which many of you know.
However, drastic changes have been made to it to support more manageability and its interface.
There are 18 CPL files by default (Windows 11).

There are certain applets in Windows that do not have a dedicated CPL file.
Instead, they are saved in a folder or a DLL file.
They can be accessed using their canonical names.

However, this will not work through the Start Menu as there are no respective files to run.
We have also provided a list of the canonical names you could use in Windows further down this post.
However, we have still added them as they may still be valid for older Windows versions.

These can be launched directly using Windows CLI.
However, both of these file types have different functions.
Now that you completely understand what CPL files are and what they do, when do you need them?
