Default Stop the dialing!

Nice try but---Nope!

It is not a dialer such as you describe.

It is The Windows component called The Network Wizard. It
is simply using its default settings.

I want to change those defaults. It is probably not
possible but I can Hope!

Thanks anyway, have a good day!

This is actually an edited repost of one from three
weeks ago.
This happens whenever I add or change a Network Place.
Some other times too but I don't remember when.

XP's Network Wizard always starts to dial my
connection and I have to click cancel to stop it (in

the
dial-up connection dialog box.)


- I DO NOT ADD INTERNET SITES TO MY NETWORK PLACES.

That
is what "FAVORITES" is for (IMO). I can understand why
this MIGHT be desirable in a business environment but,

I
Am Not A Business Environment. ;=} -

Then, when I click Cancel to stop the connection, it
ALWAYS DESELECTS "Logon Automatically." I have to
reselect the box the next time I DO want to connect.

What I want to do is:

1.) Make the Network Wizard start out with LOCAL

Places
before trying the internet, or at least ASK Whether I
Want to go online or not.


================================================== ========
OR - and #2 may be easier; possibly a Registry tweak

but,
I have no idea where to even start looking in there! I
looked through "Kelly's" tweaks and stuff but didn't

find
what I need for this. Maybe it is there but I couldn't
find it!

================================================== ========

2.) STOP the DESELECTING of "Logon Automatically." -
Just because I don't want to connect ONE TIME does NOT
mean I don't want to connect automatically the NEXT

time.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks,
DY

You have probably downloaded and installed one of the

famous "Dialers" from internet somewhere. They pop up in
a lot of netsites
(most at porn or warez). The mission to those, is to

call a expensive internetprovider in a foreign country,
to rip people off for
money...
