Hi,

I recently got a laptop with vista installed on it. I want to know that when I need to make a change to my network settings in windows vista. Rather going to "My Network Places" in as in XP. I don't know how to do it?

You can do easily by following the steps below : right-click Network and Sharing Center and create the shortcut. But to open it fast, type ncpa.cpl into the Start menu search box, and you will see network connection list. You can also create a shortcut by using C:\windows\system32\ncpa.cpl as the location of the shortcut.

Net Profiles is a freeware which help you configure the internet connection with a single mouse click, it eliminates the need to manually reconfigure your network settings when you move your desktop/laptop computer to another location. Once a profile is created, Net Profiles can configure your IP settings, proxy settings, mapped drives, default printer, wallpaper, and screen resolution with a click of a button; as well as run any number of user-defined applications upon activation of a profile.
