Yz Dock & Dial-up Networking Help.....


Recommended Posts

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:

TIA

Sumit

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

:ninja:

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

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.

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

    • Yay, a forced new tab telling everyone edge just updated with a load of advertising in it twice as often as we currently get it. That'll never be abused. 😏
    • About bloody time. I have got PRs with hundred of files and the Web UI just struggling to even load the pages.
    • I wonder if it was applying secure boot certificates/dbx files?
    • I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
