You only get that prompt after *all* Internet aware applications
have terminated, not just IE. What else is running or installed,
such as toolbars, IE extensions, etc?

FWIW the culprit that was doing it to me was Alexa.
However, I only found that out after adapting to using
OE's Work Offline prompt instead. I got so used to using
that technique to hangup and it is so much more useful anyway
that now I hardly ever see the prompt you are wanting to get back.
So you could treat this as a good thing... ;)

Is your timed disconnect working? Losing that would be more
serious IMO. However, I fortunately have always had it.
