    Right click on the Start button and there should be an option for Control Panel, as well as some more advanced things like Computer Management.

    How do you access Network Connections without using the Control Panel?

    I only know the following ways:

    • Run ncpa.cpl from the command line.
    • Right-click on your network icon in the System Tray, and select Open Network Connections

    Like everything in Windows, there's about 5 ways to do it:

    My way: Start, right-click on My Network Places, Properties.

    Others found in this thread and elsewhere:

    • Desktop shortcuts to individual connections
    • Sidebar navigation for My Network Places
    • Right click the Start button; Explore, select network
    • Winkey+E; left->down->right
      • Winkey+E; left->down->asterisk (fully expands every share on the network - not recommended)
