Have you guys got a shortcut to your dial-up network? If you haven't, it would do no harm to create one. Here's how: Open Windows Explorer and go down the TreeView to Dial-up Networking. There tab over to Listview. Now altF for File Menu, and your existing ISP connection should be there as well as 'make new connection'. We want to create a shortcut to the existing ISP, so we go there and altF and down to 'creat shortcut'. Press Enter, and you will be prompted with, 'Windows cannot create a shortcut here: would you like to create one on the Desktop?' Answer yes to this, and follow the prompts through to conclusion. This is my last contribution on this topic here. Finally, after you restart or reset your computer, the first time you go on-line, invoke IE or OE, not your ISP dial-up shortcut, to check if your password has been remembered by Windows. dial-up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joel Pincus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Flor Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 1999 5:15 AM Subject: Re: O E 5 : Hi there, : : Thanks for that response but i tried it before and it still does not : hold.
