control panel

A Macintosh utility that permits you to set many of the system parameters. For example, you can control the type of beeps the Mac makes and the sensitivity of the mouse. On older Macs (System 6 and earlier), control panels are called cdevs.

The Windows operating system has a Control Panel program that offers many of the same features as the Macintosh control panels.
