-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- * Before you do anything if you've been using a previous copy of Dunce
- delete the shortcut in the StartUp Items, just trust me on this one okay.
- Also make sure that you Quit out of the old version of Dunce, you can do
- this by Right Clicking on the small icon next to the clock in your
- taskbar
- and then clicking on the Quit button.
-
- * Now expand Dunce into a directory of its own, probably c:\dunce, with
- whatever program you use to extract zip files.
-
- * Now all you have to do is run the dunce.exe file.
-
- * Dunce will prompt you if you want it to install it as a StartUp Item.
- Please say Yes to this prompt. Dunce will only work if it is loaded.
- You can load it manually whenever you want it if you want but it is so
- small that there is little reason for this. This operation places a
- value into the Registry. The readme.txt file details where this value
- is placed.
-
- * Dunce will prompt you again asking if you want to install the URL.DLL
- file into your System Directory. If you intend to use the AutoDial
- feature say yes to this prompt. The AutoDial feature allows Dunce to
- dial into your Internet Provider when a WinSock program requests a
- Network Resource. Some Users may already have the URL.DLL file since it
- is included in Microsoft Plus! and Internet Explorer 2.x and 3.x. If
- you do Dunce will not replace newer versions of this file.
-
-
