Shortcut to view wireless networks in Windows 7

Shortcut to view wireless networks in Windows 7 Does anyone know how to create a shortcut which opens the wireless networks dialog box in Windows 7? I'm looking for a shortcut that takes me directly to the window which shows you the available wireless networks around you.

"create a new text file and put this on it

rundll32.exe van.dll,RunVAN

save it as ""wifi.bat"" and create a shortcut of it wherever you want,

right-click the shortcut, select propriety and edit its shortcut key to CTRL + ALT + W

now Ctrl+ALT+W will popup that available Wireless network window.

Or use any other trick to map a keyboard shortcut to it ...

Have fun"

"Create a shortcut on your desktop via right mouse, New, Shortcut, Location:

C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\::{38A98528-6CBF-4CA9-8DC0-B1E1D10F7B1B}

Press Next and name it ""View Wireless Networks"".

Then right click your shortcut and select properties, change Icon and select as file for ""Look for Icons in this file"" the following file:

%windir%\System32\wlanpref.dll

Select the icon you normally see in the lower right corner on the taskbar and press OK."
