Just go into My Computer, the open the Dial-Up Networking folder and select the connection that you wish to modify. Then go to Connections and Settings. Just select the Don't Prompt to Use Dial-Up Network radio button at the bottom. Caution! When my connection was configured this way along with my Internet Settings set to Connect to Internet as Needed, every time I booted up my machine it would start dialing out immediately! Very annoying. What was odd was that I couldn't find anything in my Start Up folder, win.ini, autoexec.bat, or config.sys file(s) that would cause this. Let me know if you experience the same problem. I just live with the "inconvenience" of having to first double-click to establish the connection. Hope this helps.
