My question is why am I unable to use the network Shortcut on my desktop to Enable/Disable my
network like it used to work in win7 ?
I can disable network by right-clicking shortcut, but the option to enable it, is grayed out. i have to keep
going to Network & Sharing Options and drill down into Adapters to re-enable network.
Am i missing something?
Thanks,
Please post the shortcut's properties.
Personally, I use a batch file containing these commands and its shortcut needs to be run as admin
Code:netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" disabled netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" enabledWi-Fiis the name of my WiFi adapter card as it is shown in the Network and Sharing Center.

Thanks.
So I created a shortcut from NCPA,cpl on my desktop. I then disabled and got same results. Then went back disabled, went to NCPA and created shortcut with Enable showing. NO go. The enable option does not carry through.
I would report on Feedback Hup. I do not know registry keys to fix.
Think I would use Denis's approach with bat files. Seems quick.
You might try Nirsoft's tools for Context menus.... one example.

In this post, I show how to create shortcuts to connect either wireless or wired NIC: How to configure Ethernet and wireless channels on the same computer?
