This next section details the use of the control center itself. For information on individual modules, please see Control Center Modules
The KDE Control Center can be started 3 ways:
By selecting K Button->Control Center from the KDE Panel.
By pressing Alt-F2.
This will bring up a dialog box. Type kcontrol, and click Run.
You can type kcontrol & at any command prompt.
All three of these methods are equivalent, and produce the same result.
