Quick Access To Network Connections List In Vista

Posted by on Oct 25, 2007 | 2 Comments

In Windows XP, it is simple it find a list of network connections. Simply right click My Network Places and click Properties. However, in Vista, it is not quite so simple and you need to go digging in the Control Panel.

If you want to quickly bring up a list of network connections on your computer, type ncpa.cpl into the search box on the Start menu.

Alternatively, you can also create a shortcut on your desktop. When the Create Shortcut Wizard appears, type ‘c:\windows\system32\ncpa.cpl’.

    Hey guys, I created a program that actually adds Network Connections to Control Panel in Windows Vista. Copy the following link into browser to download: “http://www.sevanstech.com/downloads/Vista%20Network%20Connections%20Enabler.exe”. Don’t worry it is virus-free, and installs instantly.
