Making A Shortcut On The Desktop

 

     Making a shortcut on your desktop is for an easy connection to BCI without opening a browser or a mail program.  It is also useful to have in case you ever need to change your local dial-up phone number without changing it permanently.  It is a temporary change to the phone number for the one connection time only.

     To make a shortcut on your desktop, open My Computer.  In My Computer, open Dial-Up Networking.  Once Dial-Up Networking is open, you will see an icon for your dialer to BCI.  It might also be called My Connection.

     If you right click one time on the dialer icon, a small menu will open.  If you scroll down this menu, you will see 'Create Shortcut'.  Highlight this option and left click on it.

     You will then receive an error message that states that a shortcut could not be made here and would you like it to be placed on the desktop?  Please click yes.  Then close Dial-Up Networking and My Computer.  On your desktop, there should now be an icon that is called 'Shortcut to BCI' or 'Shortcut to My Connection'.  If you double click on this icon, a connection box will open for you to click connect to start the dial.
