Auto Internet logon at login
how do I disable the autologon/connect to the internet at startup/login of my computer
wford,
You could check the Task Scheduler - this is found as an Icon on your Windows System Tray: in the Task Bar.
Double click to open it. If your computer is programmed to auto-boot IE in Scheduler, you can easily remove it from the Helper that opens.
If Scheduler is not in your System Tray, it can also be located in My Computer.

thanks tigerman..its not there..I have checked most places like this already.
mj_cole..You could be correct, but I cannot find any info about this in my startup programs, and I have checked each of them, they seem not to have these options, though they may be doing this without giving me the option.
what programs would it most likely be in, my best guess is some of the plugins like Realplayer, but I cannot find any internet at startup options here.

A lot of programs that are loaded on startup are'nt actually listed in the startup menu....you should consider using Nuts and Bolts - you can get a trial version of that i think. That has a scanner which tells you what exactly is there in your startup....should shock you a bit.

To find other start programs, look in the
registry in either
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software \Microsoft \Windows\C urrentVers ion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar e\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Run
these places hold the things that the registry runs on start-up
incase you dont know, to edit the registry run regedit.exe

thanks shibu..the EnableRemoteConnect toggle did the trick...
also thanks mj cole, I tryed out your reg keys and did delete a number of programs but no joy.
I didnt identify the program that was connecting, but as this is a development machine a number of Microsoft development tools could be doing it, and I cannot really remove them

If you mean that you are always prompted to logon to the internet when ever you start your computer, you will need to find the application that is requesting internet information and either stop it from running at startup or find an option in that program which will prevent it from automatically connecting.
Hope this helps, if not, give more info, and I will be happy to add more details
