Did you test this? For me it does launch System Preferences, but then it
just spins till the script times out.

I _always_ test scripts that I post. People who don't should be shot. I got no spin.

I've just tested it again, having since then removed Jon's Commands, and it still works fine, but it only seems to work provided System Prefs is NOT already running. I can't be bothered to fuss with it, because a sure way of doing the same thing in all circumstances is:


set varFldr to "" & (path to startup disk) & "system:library:preferencepanes:"
set varPane to choose from list (list folder varFldr)
set varPanePath to varFldr & varPane
tell application "Finder" to open item varPanePath
