In Windows XP you can open the properties of a network connection with 2 clicks. In Windows Vista it takes 5 clicks to open the properties of a network connection.
I’m going to show you how to create a few types of shortcuts that’ll make opening the properties and managing a network connection much easier and faster. This can make alternating network properties of a connection from work and home much less painful.
Simple Network Connection Shortcut
This section shows you how to create a simple shortcut to a network connection’s properties. You can place the shortcut on your desktop or quick launch toolbar and when you open it the network connections properties opens up.
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center by clicking the network icon next to the clock one time and then click Network and Sharing Center in the pop up window.
2. Click Manage Network Connections on the left side of the Network and Sharing Center window.
3. Right-click the network connection you want to create a shortcut for and then select Create shortcut.
4. Windows Vista will give an error saying it can’t create a shortcut there but it asks if you want to create a shortcut on the desktop instead. Click Yes.
5. A shortcut to the network connection is now on your desktop. If you open it the properties for that network connection will open.
Advanced Network Connection Shortcut
If you need more control of a network connection this section shows you how to add a shortcut to a network connection in the start menu that can be managed, disabled, enabled, or repaired by simply right-clicking it.
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center by clicking the network icon next to the clock one time and then click Network and Sharing Center in the pop up window.
2. Click Manage Network Connections on the left side of the Network and Sharing Center window.
3. Drag the network connection and drop it on the Start orb.
The network connection is now at the top left of the Start menu. You can go to the network connection’s properties by simply clicking it or you can enable, disable, bridge, or diagnose the connection by right-clicking it.

Another way that data theft can occur is through the installation of hardware such as removable storage devices. An attacker can install such a device on your computer with the intent of copying your data. Vista protects against this type of data theft through device installation restrictions.
You can control the installation of devices through the local computer policy (or a group policy if using Active Directory).
To locate the related policy settings:
1. Click Start and type mmc in the Search field.
2. From the list of programs, click mmc. Click Continue when prompted.
3. From the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
4. Click the Group Policy Object Editor from the list and click Add.
5. Click Finish.
6. Click OK.
Click the Local Computer Policy and navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System \ Device Installation \ Device Installation Restrictions.
In the details pane you will find several settings to control the installation of devices on the local computer.

You often read or hear that you should always proceed with caution when working with the Windows registry. Although this is very true, you can help alleviate some of the jitters of modifying the registry if you understand a little more about it.
First of all, a little about the registry terminology, keys, and values are terms you should be able to differentiate between. In the most simplistic terms, values contain the specific data and values are organized into registry keys.
Creating a new registry key is a straightforward process. With the Registry Editor open (click Start, type Registry Editor in the Search field and press Enter) navigate to the location where you want to create the new key. Click the Edit menu, point to New and click Key. Conversely, you can delete an existing key by selecting the appropriate key and clicking Delete from the Edit menu.
Creating a new value is also fairly simple. Again, navigate to the appropriate key. Click Edit, point to New and select one of the different value types. Type in the name for the value and edit the data by double clicking the value. The type of data you include in the value will depend on the type of value you are creating. For example, a DWORD value will consist of a number.
