<h1>Using Network Identity Manager</h1>

<p>
Depending on how Network Identity Manager was installed, it might already be running
in the Windows taskbar notification area or it might need to be started
manually. See the topic <a href="use_start.htm">Starting
Network Identity Manager</a> for details.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
To open the NetIDMgr window when the <a href="use_icon.htm">application
icon</a> is displayed in the Windows taskbar notification area, click on the 
icon with the 2nd mouse button (usually the right mouse button) and select <b>Show Network Identity Manager window</b> from the menu.  
</p>
<p>
If NetIdMgr is not displayed in the Windows taskbar notification area, it can be 
started from the
Start Menu, or type 'netidmgr' at a command prompt.
</p>

<p>
Once the NetIDMgr window is visible, you will be presented with a view
of your existing identities, or a message notifying you that you
don't have any.&nbsp;&nbsp; Details of the credentials view objects <a
href="wnd_main.htm">can be found here.</a>
