   What you are trying to do is possible.  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.

James
