area code

Where is the area code (required in order to set up the modem for Microsoft
dialup connection) stored in the registry or elsewhere?

Try Control Panel (classic view)> Phone and Modem Options. Establish a
location. May also want to open Network Connections> Tools> Dialing
Preferences and make sure the preferred location is selected here too.

Area code is use to setup Dial Up connections. However, this is not required
if your ISP is located in your local area but Windows will not let you left
it blank. But later, you can uncheck the "Use Dialing Rules" from your
Connection Properties if you don't want to include Area Code while connecting
your ISP. Further, there is no need change Phone and Modem options if you
have a Broadband connection.

This entry is store under Registry Editor. Take a look at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Telephony\Locations\Location1

Hope this is what you are looking for, let us know!
