    Connect To does not appear as an option when I click Start

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit and notice that--unlike Vista 64-Bit--when I click the Start button, "Connect to" is not listed. So I am unable to use it to display all available wireless networks. Is this normal for Windows 7, or is there a setting that I am missing?
