Ultimate Settings Panel, like our freeware Windows Access Panel, is a one-stop tool that provides you shortcuts to Windows and Outlook settings. It can help you open the settings more easily without wasting much time. There are shortcuts to numerous settings categorized under ‘Windows’, ‘General’, ‘Outlook’ and ‘ConfigMgr’. All the categories are discussed in detail here in this post.
Ultimate Settings Panel for Windows 10
Under the Windows category, you get the shortcuts to essential Windows settings, like Action Center, Device Manager, Keyboard and Mouse settings, Windows Firewall, Windows Update, User Accounts, etc. There are around 40 shortcuts placed in this category. The shortcuts are really useful, and I think we open some of them very frequently. They are all linked to one or the other Windows settings.
Under the General category, Shortcuts are provided to general system tools that we frequently use like Registry Editor, Recovery, Disk Clean-up, Task Manager, Windows Defender, Group Policy Editor, Parental Controls, UAC Settings, etc. Again there are around 40 shortcuts in this category all very useful.
The next category is Outlook; under this category, you can find shortcuts to Outlook actions. Some of them are Clean Rules, Clean Reminders, Reset Navigation Pane, Reset Profiles, Clean Subscriptions, Import NK2, Repair PST, etc. 30 useful action and shortcuts are provided in this category.
The last category, ConfigMgr, gives you shortcuts to 6 ConfigMgr actions, including Program Download Monitor, CM Trace, etc.
If you are not clear about the functioning of any button, then you can simply click on the ‘Help’ menu and then choose ‘Button Functions’ to open the button dictionary and look for the meaning or the functioning of any button/shortcut.
The utility is worth the download, if you are a non-geek user or if you don’t prefer opening system tools by typing them into ‘Run’ then this tool is perfect for you. There are many shortcuts, and they keep on increasing with every update. Shortcuts are categorized in a very good way, and one must not face any problem while using this tool. If you open settings frequently, then Ultimate Settings Panel is for you.
Visit github.com to download Ultimate Settings Panel for Windows 10/8/7.
UPDATE BY ADMIN: Given the comments, the download link has been changed to GitHub.
It seems the app has been updated since you posted this article:http://i.michaelmknight.co.uk/images/2014/11/01/usp.jpg
You have to pay for the Pro version for full functionality…a little fact left out by the author of this article.
Your kidding right? over half the options on this do not work unless you purchase the pro version. People need to learn that when something is advertised as free, that’s what it should be 100% unrestricted, free otherwise it is called shareware. In my opinion, for that reason alone it is being uninstalled and I would not recommend this software to anyone, people are downloading this software under false pretenses and expecting it to be unrestricted and it’s not.
It also seems crappy to me that they direct people to a shady site like CNet for the free download but serve the pro version directly from their site, that should say something about the author also.
Ultimate Settings Panel for Windows!! What have you unleashed into the general population. Filename: ultimatesettingspanel.exe
Threat name: SONAR.Heuristic.120 Here’s what my Norton 360 came up with your program. I’m spending the next few hours scanning my Desktop Machine. It’s A Custom Built 50 TB Windows 8.1 Machine ($15,000.00). I have an entire page of data about the damaged caused to my machine. If you want it please tell me where you want it forwarded.
I’m calling BS on the price of your machine. And telling you flat out that this pitiful little program did not harm it in any way. The program is pretty useless…but not at all harmful…grow up.
Filename: ultimatesettingspanel.exe
Threat name: SONAR.Heuristic.120
Full Path: Not Available
I call Bullshit too! I did a scan using Bitdefender Total Security 2015 (Bitdefender won Best AV 5 times in a row) and it came up clean. With that in mind I decided to pop over to Virus Total and guess what, All clear, even with Norton.

Something else must have A) infected the ultimatesettingspanel.exe or B) it’s a false positive (which I doubt, as there would be a record of this on Virus Total.)

Also, you’re sort of busted as SONAR.Heuristic.120 does not affect Windows 8/8.1 systems (according to Symantec) and is an extremely low risk on other versions of Windows (check the technical details on the link here): http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2014-011016-0119-99 And Full Path: Not Available? How does Norton know where the file is then and that it’s infected if it doesn’t know the infected files path (i.e on your computer)? Seriously? And for someone that has supposedly been in computers since 1985, you don’t seem to know a lot. If you did, there’s no way you would have any infection without keeping on top of things.
Also, there is no way your machine cost that much. I have 16TB with 3 internal HDD’s and 1 external HDD and also 10TB of OneDrive storage making a total of 26TB

I have a powerful and decent custom system that cost me £550. Maybe you just got confused with the zeros and decimal places. Either that or it’s you that’s infected!
Also, I like how the post author has ignored everyone’s comments. Also, this post was posted to Facebook about 5 mins ago without any amendments.
They do this Ed so that it saves bandwidth on their own site (as well as getting paid small fees from cNet.) It’s only in the last versions that you have the pro option and most of these settings are available in God Mode, GPEDIT or the registry. It’s diabolical that someone would charge to use this useless programme.
This little program does NOTHING but but provide shortcuts to items that ALREADY EXIST in the Windows environment.
Maybe you should read a few book and lear a little about computers, before running off at the mouth about things you don’;t understand…just sayin’
We’re not in any way related with CNet for this download. It is better not to speak anything without knowing about it and coming to ignoring comments, I was not at all ignoring your comments but due to a reason couldn’t reply them. As per my experience about this application, it went without any problem and that is why I’ve reviewed it!
IIRC Norton threw a fit when I installed too but it was a false positive based on SONAR (it’s heuristic based threat Identifier) not having any data on the download – ie, it was too new and not enough people had “trusted” it yet in the Norton community so if you have your NAV/NIS settings set tight, it prevents the app from even running and throws the heuristic error. If you take the time to look up the error you discover what I relayed above.
On a side note, why some people feel it’s necessary to scream, lie, point fingers and make accusations to get attention rather than simply explaining their situation and asking for help and advice is totally beyond my ability to fully comprehend. The first method gets you ignored and blackballed while the later gets you help and a pat on the back for identifying issues.
This is our product and I can 100% confirm that it is not a virus and contains no malware at all. It is a tiny c# program and the download is a standalone executable file compressed into a zip file.
In response to the fact that we charge 89p for the pro version (around $1.50 US?), this is to help with our ever growing hosting and running costs. Paypal take 24p of the 89p so we end up with around 65p for each program sold. For this, we allow you to install it on 1000’s of machines within your business if you so wish – I don’t think 89p for this is really much to ask. The free version gives you access to the basics and the pro version gives you more functionality. We find some of the comments on this page extremely insulting, to call our program “useless” and “its diabolical to charge for this” is a bit much – if we were to charge £10 for each copy of the program then yes I’d admit its a rip off for such a simple program, but come on – its 89p! If you dont like the program then just dont use it, you dont have to slag it off on the internet – many other people have contacted us to tell us how much this has helped them, this program is for these people that require basic help not computer experts.
I’d like to point out that we were using cNet purely to keep the costs on bandwidth down and if you use Google Chrome you dont get their (not ours) crapware anyway, but we have taken these comments on board and have started to move our hosting to SourceForge which should be completely clean if you download directly from our website. Ultimate Settings Panel has already been moved to this new location.
I am also a bit concerned by the author stating at the bottom of this article “UPDATE BY ADMIN: In view of the comments, the download link has been removed” – WHY!? The program is NOT a virus, maybe some false positives out there but this is not our fault and as stated above, we have now moved it from cNet anyway. This article with this comment at the end of it makes out like our program is dodgy. I would like an explanation from the author about that….
Anyway, thanks for reading…download the program if you want, buy it if you find it useful, if you think its crap, then dont bother and delete it.
