Open Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

[TheEliteOne]

Hi, how can I open this:

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

I tried with ShellExecute() but I think I did it wrong.

Please help, thanks :)

What did you try to execute? Post some code.
Every Control Panel icon has an associated cpl file in windows folder.

How will I open this:

Netcpl.cpl

I tried this:

system("Netcpl.cpl");

but that didn't work.

Odd. I tried "desk.cpl" and it worked fine. Do you get any error message? What happens if you try another cpl?

[TheEliteOne]

This is what I get when I run the program:

'Netcpl.cpl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I suppose cmd can't find the file. Are you sure the name is correct? What folder is it in?

That MSDN page probably applies to Windows 98 or ME.

Oh. I didn't notice that.. here's one for xp: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313808

I have windows seven, here is the code that I tried:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
system("Netcpl.cpl");
}

and it shows this:

'Netcpl.cpl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

i think you should search for the netcpl.cpl file first on your machine? or *.cpl files to verify that it exists?
