    Win `98
    As soon as the computer boots to desk top the Dialup dropdown shows up.
    I want to dial up when I`m ready, not when the computer thinks it`s ready.
    Surely there`s an easy way to do this but I can`t find it!!
    Thanks as usual

    Moore - Have you been to (on a web page) tools>internet options>connection tab? Place the dot in the "Never dial a connection" and see if that works for you.

    Glad that helped. I know your thinking about not being able to dial up but AFAIK those settings are just instructing your computer when to/when not to pop a dialup box up at you.
