I have a dial up connection, and I don't know which of my programs is beginning the dial up automatically many times per day, which really annoy me to cancel this several times in 1 mn. And I don't know where is the setting menu in Windows or Internet to prevent this automatic dial up. So anybody could help me please?

Right click Internet Explorer on your desktop/properties/connections/never dial a connection.

also there migh be a check box in the dialup window that says "Dont ask me again... or something like that... if you see that check-box just check it and it won't ask you again until you log off...

Look for any program that has an automatic update feature - such as Windows Update. Also, Outlook 2000 has a couple of dialers. If you have selected either the "Check for new mail every x minutes" or the "Send messages immediately when connected" mail delivery options, it will dial without asking.

Windows XP will in many cases prompt you to dial your connection. For example if you are reading your email while you are "Off Line", and you hit a HTML email which has a link to a picture, XP will ask you to dial your ISP. Even if you have set the option Never dial a connection in Internet Explorers Tools > Options > Connections, Windows XP can continue to bug you with this. The answer? A new setting, you can find here: Click Start > Control Panel Click Network and Internet Connections, next click Network Connections From the menu, choose Advanced > Dial-up Preferences, and uncheck the Autodial check box for your location under Enable autodial by location If you want Windows XP to dial-up "on demand", but don't want to be prompted, just uncheck the box Always ask me before autodialing.
