"Communication" Category

In this category, you can configure the behavior of Windows in the network, personalize Internet Explorer

and Outlook Express and/or Office Outlook, speed up web surfing and protect your privacy by preventing

certain programs from automatically sending data about your surfing habits.

Here you will find detailed descriptions of your settings options, sorted by subcategory in the left side of the

window:

Network

My Network Places

Here, you can configure a number of settings that affect the display of shares under My Network Places.

Among other things you can prevent your computer from being displayed in My Network Places of other

computers and that (using your password) all drives on your computer can be accessed, although you did

not specify any shares.

Advanced

In the Universal Plug & Play section you can turn off the Windows service for automatically detecting net-

work devices. This function is a potential security risk and should be disabled if you do not need it.

Under Quality of Service (QoS), you can prevent Windows from reserving part of your Internet connection

bandwidth for important packets. Disable Reserve bandwidth if you always want to have your full band-

width for surfing.

Passwords

Windows XP:

Saving your passwords means that you don't have to enter your password every time you dial into the Inter-

net, access protected shares, etc. However, hackers may be able to access and misuse these passwords. You

can therefore disable the automatic saving of passwords here.

Internet Time

Here you can set the clock on your computer to be synchronized regularly with an atomic clock over the

Internet, to ensure your computer always shows the correct time. The following option must be enabled

first: Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server.

The Available time servers section lists some popular reference clocks. If you know other servers, you can

enter their online addresses into the list by clicking Add.

Internet

Here you can determine how an existing dial-up connection behaves when a user logs off, and you can dis-

able the integrated Windows firewall.

Only Windows XP:

By clicking on the Settings button you can also set various advanced options for your Internet connection.

In the window that appears, click on the underlined links to obtain additional information about the individ-

ual options.

Internet Explorer

Explorer Bars

Here you can set how the toolbars in Internet Explorer should behave. For example, you can set Google™ as

the default search engine in the search bar or enable the Autocomplete feature in the address bar.

View

Under Title bar, enter the text you would like to be displayed in the Internet Explorer title bar.
