Who thinks they're good enough....

ok then. All i use my computer for is the internet and normally i switch it on and go get some food ready to browse about, so now getting more to the point... I hate waiting on Windows so I was told to lose the unnesscessary things (dont say a word on my spelling!) from msconfig. I went to run> msconfig and unchecked the ones i didnt need --when i came up with an even better way of saving my time, is there any way I can add something to the msconfig so as though when the computer boots it automatically dials up my default net connection?? Any help appreciated!

You could create an batch file which dials up to the Internet. The command you're looking for is rasdial, I think. (This needs XP I seem to remember.)

ok u wana explain how i do that!? I want it to do it with out me clicking on any icons or that. just on boot up. I aint the sharpest tool in the shed so some detail please!

OK - I'll spoon feed you

create a batch file called dialup.bat, with the following code in it:

rasdial "Dial-Up Connection Name" username password

Once you've created that, just create a shortcut to it in the startup folder on the Start Menu.

ok thanks a lot! that works but it leaves command prompt open after connection. what is the command to close it when done? thanks a lot mate!

Try adding Exit to the end of the batch file.

Hey, glad you got it working

The exit command should work fine.

Yeah thanks a lot you two.
Im owe ya one
