Having to go through the Network and Sharing Center to get to Network Connections in Vista can be a real hassle. Here’s a way to jump there directly:
- Create a new shortcut on your Desktop
- In the location box type: explorer.exe ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
- Click on Next
- Type in Network Connections as name and click on Finish
If you would like to use the correct Network Connections icon, it can be found in Windows\System32\netshell.dll
