Solved Open Network window with a command?

[Deathtrip2k]

Hi there, i would like to know if its possible to open up this window with a command in the commandprompt? I was planning on putting it in a batch file and execute the batchfile with a button made in rainmeter. Would be very handy for people who have a customized taskbar. At the moment I've only found a command to open up the Network and Sharing Center (control.exe /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter)

One more question... Is it possible to hide the flashing cmd prompt when executing a command in a batch file without having to download a 3rd party program?

I'm not sure exaclly about that, but you can start Network Connections by searching in Start menu for: ncpa.cpl

Hello Deathtrip, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You could use this line in a BAT file to open "Connect To".

start "" %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{38A98528-6CBF-4CA9-8DC0-B1E1D10F7B1B}

You're most welcome. I'm glad that we could help.

I just have to ask, how do you find these commands?

Lol, excellent Brink ! Thank you !

I just have to ask, how do you find these commands?

By digging in the registry to find the GUID (CLISD) numbers for various items, then adding the normal part of the command at the front of it to run the GUID number. Working with DOS back in the day helped me to know a lot of commands by heart.

I have most listed here:

Hi again. I have put the command you gave me to good use now and i have made a copy of the original windows internet button from the notification area so you can hide the taskbar for a custom one I have just changed the "not connected" icon to a (imo) better one. All the pillars should work like the normal depending on the signal streangth, but im not sure since i always have a "exillent" signal. The "not connected" icon work atleast so i guess they all do When you click on it, it opens up the "Connect to" windows just like the original

Now i decided to make one for the volume and one to show the hidden icons and i wonder if its possible to get the GUIDs for those aswell?

Thanks again

 

[Brink]

Yep, that's the exact same "Connect to" dialog that Windows 7 uses. The command just opens it.

Here's the one for "Notifications Icons"in a BAT file:

start "" %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}

​

For volume in a BAT file

start "" %windir%\System32\SndVol.exe
​

If you wanted to create a shortcut for them instead, just remove start "" from the front of the commands.

 

[Deathtrip2k]

Sorry, i meant these two windows if its possible The ones that pop on your desktop when you click the volume icon / arrow button

 

[Brink]

It's almost the same one for volume, but just opens the full volume "Mixer" instead. It controls the same volume though.

I'm not sure about one for the Customize pop-up.

I'm not sure about one for the Customize pop-up.

I wouldn't mind having that one myself in addition to one I've asked about before. The clicking of the tray date and time which brings up the additional clocks/calendar. Do you know anyone with MS that could shed some light on either of them?

 

[Brink]

I found the one to show Volume and not Volume Mixer.

(for .bat file)
start "" %WinDir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268

Nice find! Hmm, what's the numbers for? If you can do this, there has to be a way to activate the additional clock/clocks that appear when one clicks the time in the systray.

 

[Brink]

I'm don't know the exact details, but they have to be for the screen position since it opens it at the bottom right corner of the screen, and doesn't without them.

I'm definitely hunting for the calendar/clock(s) one. Hopefully I'll find it one of these days. Soon I hope.

If possible, all my little bit of Rep points would go to you for that find! I've looked and looked for it but haven't found it. I'll give up for a month or two and then go back at it. At one time, at the very beginning of wanting it, I felt sure I could retrieve the command with a classical HIPS but whatever it is, is part of a default builtin allow from the get go.

Here's another version I just happened to stumble across.

Put this line in a BAT file

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\van.dll,RunVAN

Yes, you are right. They are for the screen position. I have played around with it for abit now but i havent found any connection like an X and a Y axis yet. Finaly i just hit a random number and now it is at the button of the right hand side insted of just above where it should be

start "" %WinDir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 1000545410
