This is not a Turnpike matter except in so far as your default DUN connection is the one used by Connect so that Connect is started whenever anything else on your system wants to make an Internet connection. Without knowing anything about the file you are trying to delete it is impossible even to guess what might be causing a dial-up. I have just tried deleting a short-cut to a web address without, apparently, trying to establish an Internet connection and it is difficult/impossible to see why the content of a file should have any effect if you are deleting it. I have no idea whether this should be a cause of worry (which, as a fail-safe, is a good reason for worrying). d.i.s.t is not likely to be your best source of a solution, whether m.p.s is is another matter. -- John Underwood Do not change the Reply-To: address -it will work if you use it within 30 days.
