Vista - VPN Desktop shortcut

Hello,

This may be a stupid question but i've just installed Vista and would really
like to be able to add a shortcut to my VPN connections on the desktop.. I
know i could create a script file using rasdial but is there a simple way to
add a network connection shortcut to your desktop?

Thanks
Paul

Just drag'n'drop it from the old Network Connections window. All these new
network UIs are really illogical.

You can find it thru Network and Sharing Center, a link named Manage network
connections. If still unsure, look at the last 3-4 pics here:
