Notes
Performing this task does not require you to have administrative credentials. Therefore, as a security best practice, consider performing this task as a user without administrative credentials.
To open a Control Panel item, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon.
Do not use this procedure to specify the numbers required before dialing to a different city, area, or country/region, such as 1, 0, 00, or 011. The numbers specified here are to dial local or long distance calls from within a private branch exchange (PBX), such as used by a company or other organization. The dialing rules for a location automatically insert the number required to call a number with a different city, area, or country/region code.
