I have been doing this for several years. My friend's dad (a tech) showed me how to do it originally, then I forgot, and I actually found out how to do it again from a different post on WinDrivers awhile back.
It's great because I often access the control panel!

Yeah that 95 trick has been around for a while. It's great though. It's always been too slow to load on my PC though. It takes about 20 seconds to load all of the icons or something, I find it funny to watch my 233 struggle like that.

That's weird. I did it on a 486 with no problem...

Wow, to think MS would actually program something like that and have the possibility of expecting many people to know about it. In any event kick @$$ little trick. I like it.

I saw that a good while ago too. I found it on one of my Tech net cds. I thought it to be really cool too.

Thats funny because I just posted a thread in Tech to Tech asking how to restore the control panel after a policy had been instated. I got flamed by a bunch of the guys because they thought I was going behind the Network Admins back or something. I couldn't believe how defensive they got about it. Anyways, had I known this it would of been a lot easier than the registry hack that I did. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Thanx for the info. Great tip!
When you create a DUN folder for your START button this way in Win98SE, the entire string shows up on the start button. IOW, when you click Start, you'll see
DUN.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}DUN.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}. It will also be empty because you manually have to copy your *.DUN files to the folder.
The way I created a DUN for the the Start button is just create a new folder as outlined above, but just name it "DUN" (without the quotes OR the alpha-numeric string that followed in the above example).
Then open My Computer/Dial-Up Networking then drag-n-drop (copy) your *.DUN files to the folder you just created, otherwise the new folder will be blank. This one is definately worth doing if you use more than 1 dial-up connection.

Yes you can. Go to http://www.windows-help.net/windows98/tune-11.shtml for Network Neighborhood and others.
