Add Control Panel to your Start menu
Q I read somewhere that it is possible to add the Control Panel and Dial-Up Networking folders to the Windows 95 Start menu. Could you please advise me how this is done, and whether the technique will also work for NT 4.0. - Gavin Brown AMost Windows 95 users navigate the Start menu to reach the Dial-Up Networking folder (Start--Programs--Accessories). But if your Start menu lists dozens of items, it takes a steady hand and a fair bit of patience to position the mouse pointer in the appropriate spot. The Control Panel is easier to locate (Start--Settings), but once you've clicked the folder's name there's a slight delay -- a whir of disk activity while the folder opens and the applets materialise on screen. Access the Control Panel more quickly by adding it to your Start menu To add the Dial-Up Networking folder, use the same procedure but name the menu item as follows: Dial Up Net.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48} Once again, make sure there are no spaces before you press <Enter>. If you're using NT 4.0, you can set up a Control Panel menu item using the same technique. But don't try it with Dial-Up Networking, because the folder doesn't exist! - Roy Chambers | Category: Win95 Issue: Apr 1998 |
