Fixing problems with Network Connections folder
Hi all,
When I use the Network Connections folder on Control Panel or My Network Places, it shows absolutely nothing. And refreshing it shows a message saying that it cannot find the list of adapters. The networking tab in Task Manager does show this info. How to fix these problems? |

Network Connections is a Shortcut, a call to File Explorer. The shortcut, when executed, passes three CLSIDs or program calls. https://i.postimg.cc/76Wn47SC/Networ...s-Shortcut.gif %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\ ::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\ ::{7007acc7-3202-11d1-aad2-00805fc1270e} Start in: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% https://i.postimg.cc/yd0gWZZp/Regist...onnections.gif The number in the third CLSID entry {305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74} is related somehow to Control Panels and their Extended Properties. The entire view is synthesized with shell32.dll calls. ******* To research this, find an older version of Process Monitor that still runs under WinXP, double-click the shortcut and collect a trace of where the synthetic view is actually looking for the information. https://web.archive.org/web/20150607...rnals/bb896645 You start ProcMon.exe running first, then double-click the Network Connections shortcut, then review the trace later and see what file calls resulted and so on.
