One of the annoyances in Windows 7 or Vista is that you can’t immediately open the Network Connections list to see the list of adapters like you could in Windows XP.
In Windows XP, you could right-click any network connection and select “Open Network Connections”, but in Windows 7, the only option you have is to open the Network and Sharing Center
To immediately open the connection list, you can just type ncpa.cpl into the Start menu search box:
And up pops the network connection list just like I’m used to:
You can also create a shortcut somewhere to the full file path if you want even easier access.
Just use C:\windows\system32\ncpa.cpl as the location of the shortcut.
