I found the Internet-Connection-Wizard.desktop file in user/share/applications and managed to put that into a taskbar, but how can I make one that goes direct to PupDial Wv Dial?
And with the telephone icon.

And anyone know where the firewall icon is, can it be changed to another icon?

Thanks for any info on these two queries.

hello 666philb, thanks for the tip, but will this make a.desktop file?
I wanted to put it in a taskbar, and it only does a .desktop file.

Cheers, found the firewall icon(s) like you said.

hi smithy,

look in /usr/share/applications and choose a desktop file that appears in the network category.. then open as text and edit it so for example the 'exec' line says pupdial... and the 'icon' line has /path/to/icon.png ...etc then save as pupdial.desktop.. or what ever
