Hi All!

I have been trying to add the dial-up networking link yto my Yz Dock. I have gone through all the related posts regarding the same but none seem to work for me. I have also tried all different keys from the registry (searching for dial-up) and that too does not help. So could someone plese direct me as to how to add a link to my Yz dock for dial-up networking......steps 1 to z would be appreciated.

I have checked and cross-checked all the links on this board and elsewhere. So please don;t tell me to look again cry.gif

TIA

...and when you're all searching:

how do I add a camera to the dock? I've tried several {}-keys I've found in the registry, but nothing works.
playsk
try to type in the link label :

shell:ConnectionsFolder

I didn't try this tip but I know It works.

If you wish to have an ISP direct shortcut , just do like me : add the "localISP".lnk ( where local ISP is your ISP, obviously ) to the Quicklaunch folder.
Then link to the quicklaunch shortcut ( C:\documents and settings\%Profile\application data\microsoft\....\isp.lnk).

Hope this will work.

just add the icon and in the link to field type:

file://::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}

that will do it

just type c:\ or whatever in the work folder

edit: mmm i just tried my own tip and didnt work. probably thats the address for win98's dialup networking and you meant the Network COnnections folder? playsk's address did work tho, in the "link to" field type: shell:ConnectionsFolder.

i think that's what ur looking for

just in case u wanted to know, here's a link to other registry addresses for Y'z:

Special Folders

If you want to open your network connections folder add this to the link to field.

shell:ConnectionsFolder

if i remember correctly typing "rasphone" in the target box will do the trick

not at home to check but that should bring a dialog to select which connecion you wann connect to

edit: I got home and it does work
intensityx
You could do one of the following:

Add rasphone.exe (c:\windows\system32) and you will be prompted to
choose your connection

...or you can drag rasdial.exe from same folder
and in the arguments field put: ConnectionName Username Password
and set show commands to minimized.

found it shell:networkFolder
BillyGoat1978
Thanks a ton to intensityx!!!!

It worked and I can live with the command prompt window that opens (minimized ofcourse). I dont damn care about the security of the password as long as it works with a single click.....

Thanks once again to all who searched and tried to help

I want to add my camera to the dock.
The camera is in "My Computer", but I can't get it in the Dock. I've found the special folder-name for "Cameras and Scanners", but I just want my Camera.

Please help me
