How Do I Stop Dial up Disconnect Prompt

[Guest_imported]

Hi

How can I stop Windows asking me if I want to close my Dial up networking connection every time I close my browser or Outlook Express.

I get the propmt titled DISCONNECT with the text "Do you want to clese the connection to {name of dial up connection}" with YES/No buttons.

I have unchecked the "Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed" and "Disconnect if idle for X minutes"
Also in DialUp Connection Properties "Idle time before hanging up" is set to 'never' but non of this stops the promt.

Any ideas?

You will need to edit the registry.

Search the registry for all instances of 'EnableAutodisconnect' and set them to '00 00 00 00'
