PowerShell cmdlet to set Control Panel items?

2.1k views Asked by At

Is there any cmdlet that sets values in the Windows Control Panel? I'm thinking of something like a "Set-ControlPanelItem" to go along with "Get-ControlPanelItem" and "Show-ControlPanelItem"

If not, why didn't Microsoft include a "set" functionality for the Windows Control Panel?

Thank you!

It's not helpful to think about getting and setting Control Panel items. Powershell gives you access to the underlying OS and the way to have the same effect as changing Control Panel items is using wmiobject. (and maybe other cmdlets too)
