Delet a LAn/Web connexion ?

[MoiMeme]

Hi,

my brother in law has tampered with LAN settings because had some
diffciluties accessing the web.
Now he has launched several times the build-in XP-HOME "create a connexion"
wizzard and has create a new home network connexion,
and an internet-sharing-PC connexion where the PC is assumed to share it's
connexion with ohters

That is not the case

The laptop in question only has to have a WiFi LAN access via a WiFi router
The other laptop in their home can access the web

The one he has trouble with also has, but establishing the connexion is
terribly slow

I imagine that having these unappropriate connexiosn can slow down the PC
connecting. But I haven't been able to find a way to
remove them. And if he right-clicks them in network connexions windo, he
gets a message that he cannot do so, because they are in use.

How can I help him ? Could booting in safe mode allow to remove unwanted
connexions ?

TIA for your expertise please !

In the connections tab can he not click on each connection and click the
remove button??? Or go to start > control panel > network and internet
connections > network connections > right click and delete them here (this
can also be performed in safemode). Good Luck and let us know if he is still
unable to remove the connections.

No. Delete option is greyed out ( in full mode - he has not yet tried in
safe mode)

Tell him to try my second step...

Or go to start > control panel > network and internet connections > network
connections > right click and delete them here (this can also be performed in
safemode).

If this does not work he may have some viruses/spyware/malware infecting his
system. Tell him to go to these sites and run the scans...

First run CWS shredder then Housecall on this site...

and

Click Scan and Clean your PC button on this site...

Good Luck with all this,
