I have just set up a new Dell laptop with a dial up connector for a club member.
But, if he opens the internet, completes the dialup and connection, he does not get the pop-up
reminder to disconnect the phone when he closes IE. If he opens Outlook Express and closes it
last,
he does get the pop-up reminder.

I have a second club member that cannot get the pop-up reminder at all. However, this user
can
really screw her machine for here to there with dumb things she does. She has had the PC for
2
years and has gone through 4 ISP's because "they" screw-up her machine or just charge too
much.

On both machines, which are XP HE SP2 Dells, I have made sure the Advanced setting under
Internet
Options - connections are set to "disconnect when no longer needed".

I have also checked the registry in HKCU\remote access\profile\{ISP} for EnableAutodisconnect
value
of "01 00 00 00" setting
and the HDCU\software\microsoft\windows\current version\internet settings for the same value.
Both
registry values are correct.

Any other suggestions? Both users are definitely well over 65 year old novices and have a
hard
time
remembering to right mouse click on the system tray connection icon to disconnect.

Hi Richard,
If you want the Pop-Up and that which you are after then Open the Control
Panel.
Right click the Modem and go through the settings, there should be a check
box for both issuing a Dial Window to click connect and the Other to show a
terminal window when disconnecting (I don't have an XP machine to give you
the precise steps) .
HTH.

Sorry Nass, but there is nothing there that even hints at controlling the disconnect reminder.

Hi Richard,
Click on Connections Tab then under:
Dial up and Virtual Network settings:
Say : DE COM
Click on the Settings button then on the DE COM properties setting window
click on Properties.
On the General Tab under the option for :
Connect using:
Standard Modem click on configure Button.
On the modem properties you will see these two check boxes:
[ ] Bring up terminal Window before dialing
[ ] Bring up Terminal window after dialing check both.
Also look on the Server Tab and the Scripting Tab.
HTH.

Nass.
I don't have immediate access to the two problem computers, but in reviewing my computers (several)
I cannot find the references you mention. What version of Windows are you using?

I gone through windows 98SE settings (But I'm sure even on XP I did seen it
and turned it off this way) the only machine having a Modem on it the rest
all wireless or wired to a router.
