Using the internetexplorer 4.0 with active desktop enabled (shell
integration), and having a few subscriptions spread on the desctop:
Whenever I start up win95, the system connects automatically (In order to
update the desktop I guess). How can I avoid this ???

I have set all my desktop subscriptions to "manual update", and in global
properties "dial up" is the "Yes, connect to the internet automatically"
box left blank.
I've also tried to leave the "Monitor changes to my favorite Web sites"
blank.

But every time I start win95 - it dials up on my modem ! 
I use the MS ISDN utility for auto dial up to connect, and in "Internet
properties" (control panel) - the "connect to the internet as needed is
checked". But anyway - it should not dial up when starting the PC !!!

Is this a bug ? (It is a 4.0 beta)

Anyone who knows what to do ? Microsoft ?


Kindly  Peter Frank

Hi Peter for best response try microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4

meantime before you shutdown dissable the active desktop

rt-click the desktop and uncheck the active desktop option..

Try unchecking this box, then. I guess that IE4 is being loaded every
time you boot, and because it is being loaded, it connects to the
internet. If unchecking this box works, try to get IE4 not to load on
startup.

1. It is a beta. 2 The thing sucks. It is too overwhelming and push is a
waste. 
HTML mail is good enuff for me. I get tons of stuff delivered to me
