As a sole user of a home desktop PC with broadband, network stuff is
largely a black art to me. So I expect this question has an embarrassingly
obvious answer...

In the course of researching something else I opened my 'Network
Connections' folder.

Could someone explain the MSN entry please? Do I need it? If so why is it
unavailable, i.e. what device is missing? How would that have come about
and what, if anything, should I do about it?

He asked for an _explanation_ of it.

(FWIW, I myself don't _know_, but suspect it's unavailable because you
haven't registered with MSN, that entry being something to do with using
the Microsoft Network. Or because you haven't set up such a network
between your local PCs, since you only have one. But I hope someone who
knows will explain better than my wild guesses!)

MSN Connection Manager is installed when you install (or begin an
install) MSN Explorer. It will show a "missing device" if you don't
have a dial up modem. Right-click the MSN entry there and click Delete.

Go to Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs.... if MSN is listed there,
uninstall it.
Then, on the left side of Add or Remove Programs, click "Add/Remove
Windows Components".
Scroll down the list that appears, uncheck MSN Explorer, click Next, and
follow the prompts.

Thanks Glen, understood.
