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

For each account click Properties and go to the Connections tab. Uncheck
the box to "Always use this connection".

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


I don't use Identities, so I guess I really don't know, but if that box is not checked for any account in any identity then it may not be possible to get rid of the dialog. It would be annoying.
