rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere is back

  • Article

For some reason it was quite common to use an undocumented (and hence unsupported and we-can-pull-rug-underneath-at-any-time) export from the appwiz.cpl called newlinkhere. This export was removed in Vista. Since this was quite a popular export (live.com for it yourself, you’ll see) we decided at a late stage to put it back in. I haven’t verified it but it should be in the RTM version. You would use it like this:

 

 rundll32.exe appwiz.cpl,NewlInkHere
