Thanks in advance!

I have instaled win95 ver:B on my computer and I must have done something
wrong as when I boot up now,  I get the Dial up connection dialog box, with
the connect button highlighted, the connection works fine and as you can
see there is no problem connecting to the net.
However I don't want this box appearing when the computer boots, as my son
( 4 year old )  may decide to connect as he often plays games on the
computer by himself.

So before I go totaly crazy could someone please point me in the right
direction to remove this dam box.

Thanks once again for your help.

First thing to do is check "Startup" under your start menu. If it's there
you can remove it by going under "My Computer" then "C:" then "Windows"
then "Start Menu" then "Programs" and finally "Start Up" where you can
remove it.

Another thing to check for is to look in the bottom left hand corner, or
wherever the clock is, and see if there are any Icons there that may be in
some way activating this program, such as fax programs, DUNCE or maybe
something like ICQ.

Hope I helped.
