remove the components associated

Restart the machine – to which

Creating
an datainfosys icon on the Desktop
Once
all the settings are complete, the
task of dialing into datainfosys
can be automated by creating an
datainfosys icon on your Desktop.
We recommend using the shortcut
instead of allowing your browsing
software to dial for you, as you
will tend to make a more reliable
connection.
Double

Double
click the Dial-Up Networking
icon
Highlight
the datainfosys icon, and click
the RIGHT mouse button once to
display a menu
Select
Create Shortcut, and the
following message will appear
"Windows
cannot create a shortcut here.
Do you want the shortcut to be
placed on the desktop
instead?"
Click
Yes to this prompt
Simply
double click the icon on your
desktop to launch the dialer.
Enter your details and click
Connect to connect.
