Stop Windows from asking, "Do you want to close your connection?" Intended For Windows Me Windows 98 Windows 95 If you are connected to the internet, and you happen to close your last internet application (e.g. Netscape, Telnet, etc.), Windows may bother you with the question, "Doy you want to close your connection?" Here's how to turn it off: Select Internet Options from the Control Panel, and choose the Connections tab. Highlight a connection in the list of Dial-up settings, and click Settings. Then, click Advanced (the one next to the Password field). Turn off the Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed option, and click Ok when you're done.
