How to easily access the Control Panel

d_sellers1 · 06-02-2006, 08:40 PM

Here's how I added easy access to the Control Panel from within RoadRunner via the Apps Menu.

Browse to where you have RoadRunner and open the LAUNCH folder
Create a new folder and call it Control Panel
In the \Control Panel\ folder, create a file called Control Panel.ini
Add these lines inside the .ini file

Code:

[GENERAL]
PATH = Control.exe
TryEmbeddedTimeout = 5
WindowSearchString=Control Panel

Restart RR if its running

Now you'll have the ability to open up the Control Panel from the Apps menu.

EDIT: Or if you're running dbassix's modified version, you can simply use the RELOADINIS command to refresh the .ini files and load any modifications that have been made.

Or just simply download the .ini and put it in a folder called Control Panel in the LAUNCH directory. Just be sure you save it as an .ini file instead of a .txt file.

But than u have to restart Roadrunner. Or you need my moddified version with the added "RELOADINIS" Command.

A simple RELOADSKIN may will also work but I don't think may skins have that command enabled. Hence, the reason why I said to restart.

These instructions follow the K.I.S.S. method of doing things.

RELOADSKIN wouldn't reload the inis, so it's quiet worthless.
I added a command called RELOADINIS to RR, so u can put a button in the skin which will just reload the inis and reset rr.

Regardless of the facts, a restart is going to be the easiest thing to do. I'm willing to bet that more people are running guino's build of RR than your build. On top of that, you didn't even say where to get your build of RR. Someone can have their computer restarted in a shorter amount of time than it would take to try to search for your build. Until guino adds this capability to RR and skinmakers incorporate it into their skins, the instructions will remain as restart the computer.

Someone could have also restarted in the time it took you two yahoos to argue this out...

Now kiss and make up...
