Configuration Utility starts automatically and the system tray icon is loaded
in the toolbar (see illustration below.) Clicking on the utility icon will start the
Configuration Utility. Another way to start the Configuration Utility is to
click on Start>Programs> GL2422MU-MT.

your computer screen and uncheck the box in the properties window

Configuration Utility with XP.
