How To Configure Windows 3.1

1. Download Trumpet Winsock and extract all files to a suitable directory (ex. C:\INTERNET).

Select this file with your mouse (highlight filename). Place your cursor over the selected file and hold the left mouse button down and drag the file over to your desktop. Drop the exe file onto the desktop and your icon is now made.

3. In program manager select File - Run. In the dialog box type sysedit
