How To Use
To open control panel (to let the user change some setting, for example) you can use RUNDLL32.EXE, like this:
- Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL <contrl>,<applet>, <page>
For Display Properties / Screen Saver the command would be:
- Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Desk.cpl,@0, 1
So you can add some section at the end of your script for doing it with the Exec command:
Section "Display Properties" Exec 'Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Desk.cpl,@0, 1' SectionEnd
