Creating a shortcut to the IOLS Icon and placing it on your desktop.
To do this...
Click on the icon on your desktop.
Click on the icon
Right click on the icon you created earlier and select "Properties".
Click on "Create Shortcut".  You will get the following message:

Click "Yes".  This places the shortcut on your desktop.

Use the Internet icon on your desktop
  
Another way to connect using Windows 95
is to use the or Internet icon on your desktop.

If this is your first Internet connection using Windows 95 a short Wizard will take you through the remaining steps to dial into Inet OnLine Services (IOLS). You shouldn't have any problems as we have already configured your connection.

If any information appears within the setup boxes DO NOT CHANGE IT since it will change any settings previously set up.  (Please click here for a tutorial on setting up the "Internet Connection Wizard".)

If Inet OnLine Services (IOLS) is replacing a previous providers setup
Right-click on the Internet icon or an existing Netscape icon to make the necessary changes. This setup will prompt you for your username and password that you have chosen. Please enter them in the appropriate places and make sure you type "yourusername@access" (No quotes) in the User name field.

That's all there is to it!
