Author starting taskbar properties from the prompt
Matt Slavicek

I want to start up taskbar properties from a command prompt. I was able to
find a solution using VB script:

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.TrayProperties

but I would like something simplier. Does it exist?

rundll32 shell32.dll,Options_RunDLL 1

This works on XP, not sure about other operating systems. Would help if you
mention your OS when asking things like this.
