Since field technicians frequently need to modify their network adapter settings as they move between different jobsites, it is convenient to create a shortcut to the Network Connections page of Control Panel. 

A shortcut to this page can be created by performing the following steps (applicable to both Windows 10 and Windows 11):

  • Right-click in the folder (or on your desktop) where you want to create a shortcut, hover over "New", and click "Shortcut"
