Re: Geeing rid of "keep connection for next identity"

Hi Frank,

It's all unchecked by default.

I'm not sure I'm fully understood:
I use 2 identities (because it's a shared computer) for OE6. Whenever I
switch identity I get the message:
"You are currently connected to the Internet. Do you want to keep the
current connection for the next identity?"
with a Yes-No dialog.
This is the dialog which I want to vanish (make it takes "yes" as its
answer)

It may was useful while we all used a dialup connection, but now on the DSL
and Cable fast (and constant) connection it's only annoing.

Thanks

Dear Jim,

This is not a dialog that can be dismissed, neither by a checkbox or this
registry key.
I also tried to find a registry key that could be related to this dialog,
and found under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0
the value "SwitchConnectionPrompt" which seems to be related to my issue,
but even when changing its value from 1 to 0 didn't do the job.

Thanks

If you have "dismissed" a dialog in Outlook Express, the only way to
change it is to make a registry edit under this key:

For OE dialogs that you have disabled, open Regedit and navigate to this
key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Dont Show Dialogs

where {GUID} is the globally unique identifier for your OE Identity.

In the right-hand pane you will see all the dialogues that you have
turned off by clicking "don't show this again". Change the value to 0
(zero) to re-enable a particular dialog.

Hi,

I only press "no" on this dialog by mistake - is there any way to stop
being asked for that question?

Thanks
