The Display Settings Dialog is a .CPL files, which can be launched by the internal RUN command (there was a thread on this several weeks back; the display applet would be RUN /N CONTROL DESK.CPL); the easiest way to access the Network Neighborhood (not the Network Properties sheet) is via the Shell.Application automation object's BrowseForFolder method (see my FAQ entry on an Enhanced GETDIR using the Shell.Application object). I suspect that the Printer Dialog is available from Shell.Application or Wscript.Shell, but I'm not certain of this; check the Shell Object and WshShell Object entries in the MSDN.

It's not Shell.App, it's Shell.Application, and there's sample code in the FAQ that I wrote under the heading Enhanced GETDIR() using Shell Object that shows how to use the BrowseForFolder method, and the meanings of the standard flags for controlling the dialog.

You might want to look at the Shell Object and its related topics in the MSDN; the methods ControlPanelItem, NameSpace and Open, and the ShellSpecialFolder constants can be used to access the Printers Folder. For example, to open the Printers Folder:

ox=CREATEOBJ('Shell.Application')
ox.open(4) && Opens the Printers Folder
ox.open(0x12) && Opens Network Neighborhood

It might be worthwhile to actually do some reading, since there's a tremendous capability in the Shell.Application object. IOW, RTFM.
