Unwanted Startups

[Walter]

All of a sudden my computer wants to connect to the
internet each time I turn on my computer.

I have looked in all of the normal places (Internet
Explorer Options/Settings; Control Setting-Internet
Connection Settings; Startup Menu)to see what setting I
have to make this occur, but I cannot find out where this
is happening.

How do I stop this?

You can see a list of programs that start automatically by running MSCONFIG
from Start---> Run and then going to the "startup" tab.

Hi Walter,

Right click My Network Places/Properties/Advanced (top toolbar)/Dial-Up
Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Uncheck all locations and check off
always ask me before auto dialing. Also, Disable autodial while I am logged
on.

In the Enable Auto-Dial By Location dialog box, select each location for
which you want the automatic dialing feature to operate. Reboot.

Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type the
following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s

To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses
