so who's gonna build us a control panel widget. I can only code C

I'd be surprised if the windows control panel wasn't written in C.

It looks like it was written in plain html.

I'd be surprised if it is in C, it's probably in C++. That's been the language of Windows since pretty much forever.

Well there’s already WinToys, which does a lot. It may be a new project for them to just add in a legacy Control Panel tab.
