Commands to launch Control Panel items?

Where can I find a list of shortcuts to various system items, like right now I'm going to Services the slow way,

START -> CONTROL PANEL -> ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS -> COMPUTER MANAGEMENT -> SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS -> SERVICES

and there's probably some command I can just type in to quickly get there. There must be a list somewhere of how to go directly to any Control Panel item I need, what to type at the command prompt.

That one's SERVICES.MSC. I don't know of a definitive list, but you can list most control panel and MMC items with a command like

Code: 
dir %systemroot\system32\*.cpl;*.msc
(on Windows XP 32-bit; may be different on Vista or 64-bit platforms.)

you could type in the run box or at the shell prompt: services.msc
 
Yes thank you. Are there other *.msc commands?

I noted Charles Dye's list of .MSC files, there is also a selection of "control panel applets", or .CPL files. This is the list from my PC, which may differ from yours. The right-hand column serves as search keys, as in
grep "display" c:\lookup\controls.lst
Appwiz.cpl is pretty handy...
