Found this when I did a quick search online, after being frustrated by the disorganised VPN icons (which when clicked from the Network system tray icon only opens the list AGAIN in a new window!)… This arranges the VPNs alphanumerically, but also permits a connection with a single click from the sys tray icon! Win!

•     Open regedit
•     Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Settings\Network
•     Take ownership of the “Network” key/folder (right click, Permissions)
•     Select “Advanced” in the Permissions window
•     In the Advanced window, select “Change” where the owner field is (at the top of the window)
•     Type in your username and save your changes.
•     Close the advanced window
•     Now select “Administrators” in the security tab
•     Make sure “Full control” is selected, then apply changes
•     Now that’s done, double click “ReplaceVan”
•     Change it’s value to 2
