Windows Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista

October 19, 2009, 14:37(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

HappyAndyK from over at The Windows Club let me know about a new cool tool. It’s called Windows Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista.

We are pleased to release Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista. While you can use Control Panel to change settings which control nearly everything about how Windows looks and works, in some cases to access these very controls , or the in-built Windows programs, requires you to engage in multiple clicks or know their names. Windows Access Panel v 1.0 is meant to minimize your trouble in accessing such programs. It has been tested on Windows 7 & Windows Vista…With this program, you have all, or at least most of such programs at your fingertips. The present download is for 32-bit version only; 64-bit version will be added soon.

It looks to be quite a handy tool, I look forward to trying it out once a 64-bit version is released.
