Easy way to shortcut to Settings/Connections

[t mobile mda ff]

I am trying to create a shortcut to the Settings/Connection screen preferrably the Network Cards screen. I tried a search with no luck. Any ideas of how to get to that screen with one click? :confused:

Create a text file (eg.:connections.txt) in notepad on your pc.

type this:

34#\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17?\windows\shellres.96.dll,-13888

save it, and transfer it on your ppc, replace txt by lnk and voila!!!

Cheers,

Brilliant, thanks.

Where does one find the info (cplmain.cpl,17?\windows\shellres.96.dll,-13888
) for applications? Cheers!!

is there also a way to open de settings screen, without having to open an items within it? So just a shortcut to \windows\start menu\settings\ ? I cant get it to work. Also tried :

\Windows\ctlpnl.exe
\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl
\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,0

etcetc

Anyone have a clue?

I'm looking for a way to launch the main Settings directly as well and haven't found a way yet. Looks like ctlpnl only opens specific screens.
