Win10 Build 15063 Control Panel

[Kaiser]

For those of you who updated Windows 10 to the newest public build of 15063, you probably noticed that you no longer can right click Start Menu and have Control Panel as an option, and has been replaced by the dumbed down Settings instead. You can get this back by creating a batch file with the following on your desktop, running it and rebooting:

@echo off
(
echo -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
echo TAAAAAEUAgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEaAAwACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
echo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJMAAAAJAACgLQAAADFTUFPiilhG

You cannot simply create a shortcut and have it appear in that position because all built-in shortcuts need to have a certificate tied to them to show up and run. This is why there's an elaborate method to create this shortcut.
