How to open Windows Settings Pages from code in C#?

Question

How do I open Windows settings like the ones below from code in C#? I'm not trying to manipulate them, but to just open them for the user.

Sorry, I don't even know the right keywords for this question.

Edit: (in addition to the answers)

Search in C:\Windows\System32\ for *.cpl or *.msc. A few interesting ones:
- firewall.cpl
- hdwwiz.cpl

Hope this answer help you --: http://stackoverflow.com/a/552096/413736 — Xmindz, Apr 27 '15 at 09:42

try this to run Network-Adapter-Settings

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("NCPA.cpl");
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

Process.Start(startInfo);

Sorry, I take that back. It works just as well. Even better without me having to use a path to an exe. – Bitterblue Apr 27 '15 at 09:50

You can open both via:

Process.Start("ncpa.cpl");
Process.Start("explorer.exe", @"shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE}");

You can just use;

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("NCPA.cpl");
