Getting acquainted with desktop applications
In addition to standard Windows NT icons and applications, your computer
also comes with extra Windows NT operating system enhancements and
applications on the desktop that are provided by IBM as a convenience to
you. A description of these enhancements and programs follows:
Ÿ
Service Pack 4 is a Windows NT update made available to Windows
NT users by Microsoft. IBM has installed Service Pack 4 on your hard
disk.
Important
To install device drivers without affecting the service pack
installation, you must install the device drivers from the I386
directory on drive C. If you install device drivers from any
directory or device other than the I386 directory on drive C, you
will have to reinstall the service pack after you install the device
drivers.
To reinstall Service Pack 4, double-click the Service Pack 4 icon on
the desktop. Then click the Reinstall Service Pack icon.
Ÿ
Internet Explorer 4.0x is an updated version of the Internet Explorer.
(Some computers may come with Internet Explorer preinstalled
instead.) Internet Explorer is a tool that you can use to navigate your
company intranet or the World Wide Web.
Note:
You must be connected to your company intranet or to the
World Wide Web (or both) to be able to use Internet Explorer.
For information on connecting to the World Wide Web, as well
as further information on Internet Explorer, refer to the
Microsoft Windows NT manual provided with your computer.
If you have to reinstall Windows NT, refer to Chapter 5, “Using the
IBM Product Recovery CD” on page 21 for information on reinstalling
Internet Explorer 4.0x.
Ÿ
Set Up Your Network icon, which is a shortcut to the Microsoft
Network Setup Wizard. To begin setting up Windows NT Networking,
click the Set Up Your Network icon. The computer will ask if you
wish to install Windows NT Networking now. To continue with the
setup procedure, click the Yes button, and the Microsoft Network Setup
Wizard will appear. For information about using the Microsoft
Network Setup Wizard, see the Windows NT manual.
The desktop on your computer screen also includes the IBM Welcome
Center program. Refer to “Using the IBM Welcome Center” on page 8 for
detailed information on this program.
