I just built an image that contains desk.cpl. However, it doesn't launch
correctly (directly or via rundll32). I used Depends to round up any files
that desk.cpl couldn't find but that didn't help. Mmsys.cpl can be launched
with rundll32 and shell32 so I don't think it's a problem with either of
those.

Any ideas?
 
Are you trying to launch that CPL on Winlogon or Minlogon image?
Did you include the Display Control Panel component at first place in the TD? If not, there is quite more than just more Dlls
required. Look under the resources and registry section. You will have to copy those to runtime as well.

When you say "round up any files", did you take into consideration some of those files could be COM objects? Did you properly
register them with regsvr32?

Please also make use of tools like Regmon, Filemon, ProcessMonitor from www.sysinternals.com (Microsoft nowadays).
 
In addition to KMs input, check the User Interface Core component and make
sure Prohibit access to Control panel: is NOT checked. Show context menu on
Shell folders: Show context menu on Task bar: are checked.

Did you right-click to see of the Display properties came up?
