This is my first thread we can play windows on our tips by changing registry keys.
So here we will add any application to our desktop right click.
first for safe side you should backup the registry key by following steps:
1)From system protection tab under properties of my computer click on Create so windows will automatically create backup of registry keys by making system restore point.
Now its time to start...
i am going to add control panel in desktop right click menu...
Step 1: Open windows registry.
Step 2: Browse to the following windows registry key:

Step 3: Now right click on the shell key(folder) in left pane and create a new key and name it as control panel and create another sub key within control panel and call it command
