Dialup Login
I have a machine that is trying to dialup to the internet every time it is booted. It logs in to the network, then tries to dialup to the internet. I can click Cancel and it stops, but it is annoying having it come up like that. I tried searching the registry for Autolog to change the setting, but Autolog is not listed in the registry.
How can I stop this from trying to connect every time I boot?

Not that I know of. Definitely no Visual products, and I am not sure what msdn is.
Change your web browser from "dialup connection" to "Connect via a LAN" ion the view/internet options/connection. This way, it will always think you are connected and will not try to dialin,
If MasseyM's suggestion works, it means something is get launched at startup time that's looking to do something on a network / the internet. Check and see what you can tell gets launched when you startup and that might be enough to tip you off. If not, look in the Startup folder, and see if there is anything. Also check win.ini and look for RUN= and LOAD= near the top. Lastly there might be a program that's being launched from the registry.
What you lose by making the change that's suggested is being able to doubleclick on IE, for example, and auto-launching your dial-up connection. You will have to do it manually yourself. Not a huge deal but a minot inconvenience.
