Network

When you select Network in File Explorer's Navigation pane, the File menu and two tabs titled Network and View will appear in the Ribbon, as shown in Figure F. In the Location group of the Network tab, you'll find the Properties command, which will launch the Network and Sharing Center, the Open command, which when a computer is selected will access that computer and display its shares, and the Connect with Remote Desktop Connection command is available when you select a computer in the network. The Add devices and printers command launches the Add a device wizard, the View printers command allows you to see any printers being shared by the selected computer. And. when you select a device such as a router, the View device webpage command in the Network group is enable and allows you to quickly change configuration settings. You can also easily access the Network and Sharing Center by clicking its button on the Network tab.
