Re: three XP queries



Hello,

1) You can disable the network adapter altogether. Click on start > control
panel > network & internet connections > Network connections. Right click on
the network adapter and select 'Disable'. Remember to enable the network
adapter again if you plan to make your machine join a network.

2) You can make the text on webpages smaller/larger in Internet Explorer.
Click on view > text size and choose the text size according to your needs.

3) Both the locations contain shortcuts to the same executables. You may
remove either set of shortcuts safely.

I have just upgraded to WindowsXP Pro. and Office Pro 2003.
There are 3 issues I want to know about.
1. In my system tray I have a 'Local Area Connection' Icon. I am not on a
network and would like to know how to get rid of it.
2. Although the screen text is larger and easier to read some of the web
pages require a sideways scrolling to read. Is there a way I can get them
to
fit the screen. My 'LG Studioworks 'monitor' allows for different
adjustments, size, colour position etc.none will allow fitting the web
pages
to the screen.
At Start>Programs I have a Games folder containing Internet games. At
Start>Programs/Accessories I have another Games folder which contain the
same
games. Can I safely remove the folder at Start>Programs?
