Quick overview:

Even professionals are constantly getting lost in Windows Vista when it comes to selecting network devices. There you can, for example, (de)activate network devices or change the settings. This usually requires several clicks. However, it is easier with the following step:

1. press "Windows key+R" and type in the "Execute" line "ncpa.cpl" in.

Windows_Vista-229

2. you will immediately be taken to the network connections! You can also log out via "New/Link" to create a shortcut for the desktop so that you can access it more quickly.

Sincerely,
Yours, Sandro Villinger

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
