Re: DUN icon missing

I don't know what you mean by "adjustments". There is no Home version of Windows
2000. The Pro and Home version scenario you refer to pertains to Windows XP.

Since you are logged in as the Administrator on a standalone system, you should
be seeing exactly the same screens that I reference and their content should be
exactly as I describe, nothing less.

I can no longer help you because of this difference. There is something strange
about your installation that I don't understand.

Good luck!

Anyway, thanks for the help.
