One of the biggest annoyances for me 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 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 via the same right-click menu.

Today, i will guide you a small tips to open Network connections list very easy with few seconds.

Open Start Menu and type ncpa.cpl into the Start menu search box to immediately open the connection list.

And the network connection list will show:

You can also create a shortcut somewhere to the full file path if you want even easier access.

Just use C:windowssystem32ncpa.cpl as the location of the shortcut.

Note that we’ve also tested this on Windows 7 or Vista as well. Wish you success!
