Windows 7: VPN shortcut?

VPN shortcut?

I have a VPN account setup on my home computer to access our office server. It works fine but I'd like to put a short cut on my desktop rather than go through the Network menus. When I was using XP the desktop shortcut was a feature the Wizard asked me about. While setting up the Windows 7 VPN account I never saw an option for the shortcut. I've tried a lot of right clicking but nothing worked.

Hello Bob,

This link to another thread here can help show you how to.

In addition, this may help as well for multiple connections.

Hope this helps,

I agree. I have followed the instructions in the other thread, and I now have a VPN shortcut.
