Check in both the Start menu startup list for an entry to my computer. If there is one there eliminate it as it possibly the the culprit. Also under folder properties, check and see if it has an open to designated. other than that the registry may have an entry in it to launch the folder. If your DSL has a custom install CD, a procedure on it could have instructed the system32 folder to open. I do not use the ISP CDs for that reason. The DSL modems can be configured separately If they an "auto-logon " modem. You'll be able to tell if it supports this by the front panel. you will have a separate light for "Internet" (aka PPPoE). Most ISPs use a default IP to access that feature. Sometimes in the 192 series, but can vary with differing providers. Contact SBC DSL and have them send a sheet on how to manually set up their modem. Model/manufacture of modem is required. Once the 'autologon' modem is set up, you use the access software as a frisby. -- Lester Stiefel In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed which describe him in the last days.

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by an incomplete program removal, in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. It can also be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."
