There has got to be an easier way to do this.. Unfortunatly, VPN is three letters and is too small to search for here
So I'm writing " Virtual Private Networking " here so that maybe someone else will find this.
Anyway to launch a VPN connection I'm going to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon -> Under the VPN Connection hitting "Manage Existing Connections -> VPN Tab -> Selecting the VPN Connection and "right clicking (hold until context menu pops up) and hitting "Connect".
This seems SO inefficent and buried I figure there has to be an easier way, but I can't find it! Anyone have a suggestion! Thanks so much!
