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.

In OE click Tools | Options | Connection | Change
Highlight the dialup connection he uses and click Settings.
Click Advanced.
Check the box to Disconnect when a connection may no longer be needed.

Note: Windows will not give the disconnect message if it thinks any program is using the
Internet.

Do not send email

Thanks Frank, but I have done that many times. It just does not work if dials using OE first.


Perhaps if you purchase, or find a free dialer that works. Here are
some links:

Google search
http://www.google.com/search?tab=gw&...r%20disconnect

Same search with word "free" added
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&btnG=Sear ch

The first two listed here

Ever forgot to disconnect from the internet with your modem and running
up your phone bill?

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.

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