ncpa.cpl will open up the Network Connections window.
Or you can create a Shortcut to:
C:\Windows\System32\control.exe ncpa.cpl
Official MS List of .cpl commands to access a number of Control Panel tools.
Try ncpa.cpl, control netconnections, or ::{208d2c60-3aea-1069-a2d7-08002b30309d}.
Just in case anyone else likes to also launch a particular connection within the dialog automatically, Here is a good solution.
"rasphone.exe -d "<connection name>"
One may create a shortcut to it or just use it from command line.
