Re: three XP queries

Anand,
You said , "Yes, you can safely delete any shortcuts and can re-create them
later on."
But it is not a shortcut at Start>Programs it is a read only, 6.82kb
'Games' Folder.'
It would be a folder I would be deleting not a shortcut..
Is this still OK to do?
folder, containing IE games shortcuts.

Thanks Anando & Jim for your replies.
I got rid of the Network Icon OK
In my second query, I was referring to the page size not text size.
I found an answer in ' Search Replies ' and fixed the page size by
altering
the screen resolution to 960x600 it wa set at 800x600
Re my last query, At Start>Programs it is a read only, 6.82kb 'Games'
folder, containing IE games shortcuts.
I knew it was safe to delete shortcuts but as I am referring to a folder,
is
it safe to just R/clickon this folder and delete it?

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?

In fact, you can remove shortcuts to programs at will. All they do is
save
you lots of time.
And, if you should decide to recover them, you just need to find the
program
file and create a new shortcut.
It is a little more complicated to handle shortcuts to folders though.
