protected screen saver
Printer fonts
Mouse speed and sensitivity
Accessibility options for users with physical
challenges
Printer types and connections
Computer system date and time

Caution:
Changing settings in the Control Panel can affect
the performance of Windows 98 in both positive
and negative ways.
Caution should be exercised when making
Control Panel changes. If you are not completely
sure of the effect that your change will have, you
should not make the change.

Setting The System Time
Personal computers usually have a battery-operated clock
that allows the system to keep time even when turned off.
However, most computers either gain or loss time each
month. If this bothers you, it's possible to reset the system
time through the Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window:
1. Double-click Date/Time
The month and year may be changed by dropping down
their selection boxes and clicking on the correct month or
year.
The time is altered by clicking within the digital time
window and typing in the correct time.
After setting the date and time:
1. Click OK
