Hello,
I'm using rainmeter and I like it!! I installed the FaenzaWidgets http://col-darby.deviantart.com/art/Faenza-Widgets-195286242 (sound, HDD...) and I would like to set on the wifi Icon, the connection manager to a wireless network. So my question is:
What is the adress for the .exe which open the connection manager to a wireless network?
It would be great to click on the wifi Icon and choose the wireless network through rainmeter.
Is there a list for all the .exe in system32 ou syswow64 which tell us what they do because the names aren't explicit.
Thank you.

Re: Wifi icone on rainmeter
Hi, skin developer here (I wrote Faenza widgets).
Really, I just want to second your question. That would be a great function to add, but I do not know what to launch either... there is a list of many, many windows special folders here: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Tips-LaunchSpecialFolders
...but there is not a command for Connection Manager listed. Network places, yes, but connection manager, no.
Really, I'm not sure if one can launch individual Control Panel items like this?
Anyway, I'll add this to my to-do list and look around the internets a bit. I wish I could answer your question.

Re: Wifi icone on rainmeter
For most Control Panel items in Windows 7 you can drag them to the desktop to create a shortcut. I presume you can then direct rainmeter at this shortcut in the same way you would an app.
I know you can create shortcuts for:
I know you can create shortcuts for:
- The Network and Sharing Centre;
- Each network adapter - which takes you to it's properties page;
- View available wireless networks;

Re: Wifi icone on rainmeter
The cpls are stored in
Below are their names:
Therefore, the network manager is:
You can also use this:
This can also work.
Code: Select all
C:\Windows\System32\
Code: Select all
"C:\Windows\system32\ncpa.cpl"
Code: Select all
"C:\Windows\System32\control.exe" ncpa.cpl
Code: Select all
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL ncpa.cpl
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
- Don't get mad when you don't understand something
- Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive. - Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.

Re: Wifi icone on rainmeter
Hehe. Thanks morley.
If its the one thing i DO know, its the windows operating system. Age sixteen, and getting paid 20 bucks an hour running my own computer repair business.
Im quite surprised the last two worked. I did that completely off of suspicion and deductive reasoning, which unfortunately will get you in LOTS of trouble with Windows if you happen to be wrong.
Theres a lot more to it then what i posted. Those are only basic stuff. You can also use Canonical names found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330741(v=VS.85).aspx
Also, you have the option of opening to specific tabs as well:
"%SystemRoot%\System32\control.exe" sysdm.cpl,,3
Though, what you have on the tips and tricks section is plenty enough.
