Vista - Manage network connections...

Is there a quick way to get to 'manage network connections'?

At present, I go to 'network', then 'network and sharing center', then
manage network connections.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ivan,

You can go direct to Manage Network Connections, by running the command
"ncpa.cpl"; either:

1) at a command prompt:
C:\>ncpa.cpl <enter>
or ..

2) create a Shortcut with "C:\Windows\System32\ncpa.cpl" as the command
line.

A *.cpl" module is actually executable code, compiled as a Control Panel
applet. It behaves like a DLL, and gets loaded into the Explorer.exe process
space.

Hope this helps!
