Wireless modem range by
Ben
This might seem a stupid question.
If I have a wireless modem set up in my home, what's to stop my next door
neighbour from using it.
If it works through the walls of my house surely it will transmit through to
next door.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a number of folder shortcuts on an active desktop. I wish them to

Desktop Shortcut Icons. by
Ben B
Hi,
Some of the icons which appear when a desktop shortcut is
created (FileSendShortcut to Desktop) are attractive,
but a reboot will always replace them with the MS I.E.
logo.
Is there a way of preventing this replacement?
Thanks.
