programmatically open 'system properties'

Question

How can I open the various windows in system properties from command line or using VBS or JS? By this I mean windows such as User Profiles, environment variables, performance options, DEP, hardware profiles, windows update settings, remote desktop settings, etc I am using windows XP but it wont let me create a shortcut to these dialogs. Sysdm.cpl cant do it either it seems. System properties is the window that opnes when you right click my computer and hit properties.

One way to open the edit environment variables of the windows through the command line would be to call the run.exe:

"C:\\Windows\\system32\\rundll32.exe" sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables

So there must be something similar for other windows.

You can also open a specific tab of the system properties window by using the control command and the tab number:

control sysdm.cpl,,3
