Hi everyone.

I'm using Windows XP Pro, SP-2.

I have a programmable keyboard, with buttons I can configure to launch
applications.

I'd like to know if I can program one of these buttons to launch the
Control Panel.

If it's possible, what file do I use with the button? Thank you.

The application that launches Control Panel is called ironically
enough, control.exe. It's located in the C:\Windows\System32
folder. Point your keyboard configuration program to that
location and see what happens.

If you program it to launch anything else, you can program it to
launch the Control Panel

Just have it run "control" (no quotes).

Sorry, the accidentally omitted word "can," after "If you ..."
may make the above hard to read.
