Connect To does not appear as an option when I click Start 1

[melburstein]

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?

When your wireless is enabled then on the right bottom there is a wireless icon
Click on it and you can select the access point you like



ACS - Implement IP Office
ACA - Implement IP Telephony -- ACA - Design IP Telephony
ACA - Voice Services Management

Is your wireless adapter working correctly? Check device manager.

Right Click on the Start Menu icon, and choose Properties.

Select the Start Menu Tab, Click on Customize, and then scroll down until you find the "Connect To" check box; should be just under My Computer at the top though. Check it and O.K. your way out.

The "Connect to" button should now be available to you.

Though I prefer to use the icon on the taskbar.

Thank you everyone, especially Phil Vacunita because it was his tip that allowed me to add the Connect to option to my Start Menu.

Glad I could help.
