  1. How can I make a specific shortcut for a control panel path?


    I know you can right click desktop > new > shortcut > "ms-settings:security"

    But I want it to take me to the control panel, specifically to this path:

    "Control Panel\System and Security\Security and Maintenance"

    Is this possible? Thanks!
