Show All System Preferences from a Quick Menu in OS X Lion

[Geek]

<div class="KonaBody"><p>Rather than rearranging all of the System Preferences to be <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/12/find-system-preferences-easier-in-mac-os-x-by-sorting-alphabetically/">sorted alphabetically</a>, you can access a quick pull-down menu of all the panels that is sorted by name.</p>

<p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/pull-down-preference-list.jpg" alt="Pull Down System Preferences list" title="pull-down-preference-list" width="620" height="651" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23803" /></p>

<p>Try it yourself, access System Preferences from the  Apple menu, then <strong>click and hold on “Show All”</strong> to see the full list of preference panes available sorted by their name. </p>

<p>This trick is limited to Mac OS X Lion.</p>
