If I search for "microphone" in Windows 7 the first option is "Set up Microphone".

I'd like to be able to launch that programatically. I've tried dragging that shortcut to the desktop but it's just a "search" shortcut.

any suggestions?

You can use "%SystemRoot%\System32\Speech\SpeechUX\SpeechUXWiz.exe" MicTraining but it is undocumented.

Oh, didn't know about the SpeechUXWiz.exe... I was always going the longer way: rundll32.exe "%windir%\system32\speech\speechux\SpeechUX.dll", RunWizard MicTraining –  moontear Oct 12 '10 at 14:29
@Clay just run the wizard and check the command line in the task manager. –  Shay Erlichmen Oct 12 '10 at 22:20
Both of the above versions work (starting from %systemroot% and %windir% for WINDOWS VISTA and 7 but not XP. –  Clay Nichols Oct 22 '10 at 20:58
The project's Platform target setting must be AnyCPU, Prefer 32-bit unticked. –  Hans Passant Nov 16 '13 at 17:58
