Many of u must be knowing this but i thot of posting it...(sorry if it's a re-post... mods, feel free to delete it)...

In Windows XP, it was rather very easy to navigate to the My Network Connections folder. However in Windows Vista, it has become a tiresome job. You have to take a long way, a long road. First you have to go to Control Panel, then Network and Sharing Centre and then click on Network Connections. But now there is a small solution using which you can access it in one click.


1). Create a shortcut on the desktop (Right-click on the desktop -> New -> Shortcut). A window will appear.
2). In the textbox that you see, type ncpa.cpl
3). Click Next. Type "Network Connections" as the name of the shortcut.
4). Press Finish.

If you want to change the icon of the shortcut you just made, then

5). Right-click on it and click Properties.
6.) Press "Change Icon..." button and navigate to WINDOWS -> system32 -> imageres.dll
7). Choose the icon of your choice.
