On my Compaq Deskpro with Windows 2000 SP4 and all updates I have got
2 'network and dial-up' connections icons in the bottom right. The
second appeared after I installed some bluetooth software and a
bluetooth dongle on an internal usb slot (a strange PC Line usb card I
bought which has 4 external usb slots and one inside). When I look at
both after clicking on them, they're identical: Make new connection,
local area connection, local area connection 2 and Vodafone Mobile
Broadband. Lan 2 is a bluetooth thing.
I've looked in the startup programs section using the free registry
cleaner CCleaner, just in case I can just delete one there, but there
is nothing duplicated. I don't suppose it's slowing things down too
much but I would like to get rid of the duplicate if I can. (It hurts
my eyes!)
I know how to get to the startup programs with my other Vista machine
(via Defender > Tools... etc) but not with W2K - I find the start-up
_menu_ programs when I use the help function to enquire, and it's not
that. Is there an equivalent to the Vista thing I haven't yet
discovered? (But I suppose if there were a duplicate other than the
icon I'd have found it in CCleaner....)
Am I going to have to manually edit the registy or something to get
rid of the spare?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
