opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click
Network
and Internet Connections
. The Network and Internet Connections
window opens.
2 Click/Double-click Network Connections. The Network
Connections window opens.

4 Click File, then click Delete. The Confirm Connection Delete dialog
box opens.
5 Click Yes. When the bridge has been removed, it no longer
appears in the Network Connections window.
