This is super nice. Thanks!
With all of these options, I have to wonder why they wouldn't include a link to Network Connections.
It's the one thing that I seem to always need to change, but something that is always like 8 clicks to get to it.
Just hit start -> type connections.

No luck :(
EDIT: Ok, I see that I have to also click settings. Thanks!
Win+W lets you search Settings directly instead of Apps. You can also press if after you've already typed your search term.
(In case you don't want to reach for the mouse)
Thanks for this - very helpful :)

You can also hit the arrow key down to get to Settings.
I'm good with Win+R -> ncpa.cpl

And this is by far my biggest complaint. They've poured all this effort into something that people are actively trying to avoid. I had so much hope for the store...
My encounters with Windows 8 so far have lead to literally zero interaction with Metro other than for searching for stuff and starting programs for the first time which it's quite good at.
Win+X is my start menu.
