Hi there,

I want to be able to set up my network connection so that I manually enable
it after windows has loaded. Right now, the network connection opens as soon
as windows loads. I know how to disable it, but I would rather it stayed
closed until I wish to open it. Is there a way to do this? I am not running a
network, just internet access through a cable modem.
Thanks
 
That is one option...but I would rather do it through the desktop...there
must be a way to do this. Actually, it was set up this way before I had run a
windows repair install, so I know it is possible....

Right click the connectoid and choose Properties. On the Options tab tell
it to Prompt for user name and password.
