Run ncpa.cpl as administrator in command line Ask Question Asked 11 years, 6 months ago Modified 11 years, 6 months ago

Apart from ncpa.cpl, here's the registry trick: Start -> Run and type the below bold text explorer.exe :: {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} I tried this in Windows XP. It works well. It should work with Vista too. You can create a shortcut of above command too!

The other answers are correct, right click on desktop to bring up options menu, select new and then select shortcut, then write ncpa.cpl. Though this can be easily expanded to create links to other Control Panel pages as well. Just replacet ncpa.cpl with the .cpl you want to create a shortcut for when creating shortcuts for other .cpl's.

There is no way to open up that specific property window directly. There's only a shortcut to the "generic" interfaces screen, being ncpa.cpl. You can however use netsh from cmd to directly set or view the properties.

Why not just open Control Panel - All Control Panel Items, right click on the link for Network and Sharing Center, choose Create Shortcut, that'll put a shortcut on your desktop, you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like - then move it to your system root folder and voila! open it from the Run command or copy to a flash drive for portability.
