create shortcut?

Ho do I create a shortcut to the full 'map' of my network connections?
.... the window appears if you select 'see full map ' in Network &
sharing centre.

I had the shortcut once upon a time - but cannot recall how to do it.

Thanks

In Control Panel\Network and Sharing Center, click on "View full map". When
the Control Panel\Network Map window pops up, drag the icon in the Address
box to your Desktop (or wherever you want).

You can also add Connect To and Network to your Start Menu by right-clicking
the Start button and choosing Properties > Customize, but that may not be
exactly what you want.

Um.... Icon in the address box? If you mean the details pane at the
foot of the window as is on most windows, it isn't visible on Control
Panel of Networks & sharing or 'view full map' - so I have nothing to
drag.

No, I mean in the box to the right of the Back and Forward buttons, or to
the left of your Search box, at the top of your window. The icon is to the
left of the Control Panel>Network Map text. You can also right-click that
box, and choose Copy
Address, and then, with you Desktop in focus, right-click an empty spot and
choose Paste Shortcut. But dragging and dropping the icon is faster. A
tooltip, as you drag it, will explain what you are doing.

Superb.
Many thanks -link now restored to desktop.

Great. This might be a Duh at this point, but you can create a shortcut (if
it has an address) to any Windows Explorer or Control Panel window, by
dragging the icon. If you drag the address icon in Internet Explorer, it
creates a shortcut to the page you are on.
