Reminder to hang up
Is that the best technical support you can give?
It was not worth the post time.

Put a POST-IT on the side of the screen. Get used to shutting down the computer when leaving it.
Set the disconnect if no activity time. Many, many ways to handle it; just look around and try
Help.

I think this is a Windows XP issue and not an IE or OE, but maybe
both.
I have a senior friend with a fairly new Dell Laptop. All updates
installed. Antivirus, Antispyware software, and Windows Defender report no
problems. Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware reports no problem.
He uses IE6 and OE6 with a dialup connection.
If he starts IE first, and then the dialer comes up and connects.
He can then go to OE and read mail.
When he closes IE and OE, the phone line connected warning works.
If he starts OE first, and then the same dialer comes up and connects.
Now it does not matter if he goes to IE or not,
when he closes, the phone line connected warning does not appear.
I have gone through the connection setting several times.
including making a new dialer connection with his ISP.
I have also checked the registry and all the Dwords appear there and
with correct settings. (I have the same ISP and use the dialer on
shop computer and the registry key matches)
He only has one phone line and family peace would be helped if he had
that disconnect reminder.
