    To connect to the internet I have to go to start and connections then click on my my connection to connect. I used to be able to just click on the Explorer icon on my desk top to connect. How can I fix this? As always thanks in advance for the help.....Bobby

    Right click on the connection and save (shortcut) to desktop ...name it what you like.

    Then go to explorer and click tools / internet options and make sure "never connect is checked" or in firefox ...direct connect.
