opening network connections

[VCProgrammer]

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can find a windows app called rasphone.exe in C:\Windows\System32. So, something like this might help:

ShellExecute(0, 0, _T("rasphone.exe"), 0, 0, SW_SHOW);

When you execute that, it will let you connect, disconnect, and edit properties of you network connections. Hope it helps. :)

Have you tried SHGetFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_CONNECTIONS, ...)? That would get you a PIDL that can then be used to obtain the actual path of the "Network Connections" virtual folder.

The control panel "dialog"? If so... // On Vista: ::CreateProcess(_T("C:\\Windows\\System32\\control.exe"), _T(" /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter"), ... // On older OSs (I didn't test this): ::CreateProcess(_T("C:\\Windows\\System32\\control.exe"), _T(" ncpa.cpl"), ... And if that's the wrong dialog, never mind :) Mark
