Under the new Control Panel, create a new key command.
Click on command key, then edit the Default registry on the rightmost panel of the window. You can do this with a right-click, then click Modify.
It opens an Edit String window which lets you edit Value Data. Fill in this field with this string:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
Once you click OK, you can test it by going to your desktop. Right click on it, and you should see and additional option for Control Panel.
