Yep:

get shell("control inetcpl.cpl")

Note: this will stall your app until the control panel is closed.

The .cpl files are in c:\windows\system32 (modify if needed to suit 
your installation; e.g. d:\windows or e:\winnt or whatever); you don't 
need to give the full path to the .cpl file, but you might find this 
tidbit useful if trying to open one of the other control panels and 
wondering what the filename is for that particular one...

Also, it is possible that one .cpl file may contain multiple control 
panels; I forget exactly how to handle that situation, but there is a 
way to do it...  I think you had to specify the filename, followed by 
the actual name of the control panel in quotes or something like that?
