Create ncpa.cpl shortcut to Network Connections
In Vista Windows 2008 or Windows 7 when you right-click the network icon in the navigation area, but it does not take you directly to the Network Connections properties as we are used to in Windows XP 2000 or 2003 .
You can access Network Connections management menu by running ncpa.cpl from run menu or you can create a shortcut that will access those menu by key combination.
To create ncpa.cpl shortcut
- Right-click on the desktop
- Click: New>Shortcut
- Type the location of the item: ncpa.cpl
- Choose a suitable name, e.g. ‘Network Connection’
- Right-click on the newly created shortcut
- Select Properties and seek the dialog box called Shortcut Key.
Simply over-type ‘None’ with the combination that suits you, for example:
Ctrl +Alt +N. Start by holding the Ctrl key, ‘None’ should change.
- Now by pressing on Ctrl +Alt+N Network Connection Properties will Open.
Creating shortcuts using control panel applets (CPL files) can be be very useful.
Here is a list of common CPL files which can be used.
