| Remove 'Connect To' from Start Menu SUMMARY: Remove "Connect To" from the Windows XP Start Menu if you connect to the Internet via a LSN, cable, DSL, or other means.
If you only connect to the Internet via a LAN, cable, or DSL connection, you probably do not switch ISPs often, if ever. In that case, the "Connect to" option on the Windows XP Start Menu is probably just taking up space as you never need to manually connect to an ISP - your computer connects to the Internet automatically. To remove it:
1. Right-click an empty area of the Taskbar and choose "Properties".
2. When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Start Menu" tab.
3. Underneath "Start menu items", scroll down to "Network Connections".
4. Click the "Don't display this item" radio button.
5. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
