How to Select the "Local Area Connection" Item in Explorer 

Keywords:

Question:

I want to select the "Local Area Connection" under "Network Connections" in Explorer.

Any ideas?

Answer:

I would recommend using the Roboscripter to help generate the code for you. The code will be slightly different for each Windows platform

For Windows XP 
;Designed for Windows XP
; This code launches the Network Connections dialog, right clicks on the Local Area Connection icon 
; which launches the Local Area Connection Properties, selects 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' from the list


Run("control.exe","ncpa.cpl") 
ret = WinWaitExist("Network Connections", 20)
if ret == @false 
	message("Could not locate","Network Connections")
	exit
endif
