This is fucking sweet. You can type "ncpa.cpl" into the run menu (for xp, don't know about vista) and pop up with network connections. Some of these don't work, but it seems there's a run command for everything.
You don't have to type "control" before the name for the most part either.
No more digging for that one control panel you couldn't find that one time!
