| 141726 | 2003-05-06 03:05:00 | I am trying to help my friend with her computer settings. She has Win 95. 1. In IE 5.5 the 'Connect Box' does not show up. How do we get it back? 2. How do we remove the 'Save Password' so that it has to be typed in manually. (have tried unticking it but that does not work) This will hopefully prevent her Boarder from helping himself to her computer without her knowledge. 3. When you open OE 5 a box shows up saying 'Working offline do you want to go online'? then the 'Connect Box' will come up. this is the only way she can get connected at the moment. Thanks Pauline. |

| 141727 | 2003-05-06 04:33:00 | 1. Go into IE - Tools menu - Internet Options - Connections tab and make sure that 'Always dial my default connection' is selected. Also check that the internet connection is set as default. 2. Don't know about this. I don't save my password at home and it works fine. 3. Should be fixed after making the changes in #1 |

| 141728 | 2003-05-06 05:50:00 | I think for question 2 you can just delete your password file. It will likely to be your user name.pwl, so do a file search for *.pwl and delete it. Of course you will also lose any other passwords, but they can be restored as and when the need arises. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 141729 | 2003-05-06 06:19:00 | As for 2, while in the tools\options\connection, click on advanced and remove the password from there. Ok your way out again. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 141730 | 2003-05-06 06:41:00 | Hey For number 2: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Click on "Client for Microsoft Networks" and then click remove The Windows Setup disk may be needed.... however this will automatically disable the ability to save the internet password and will grey out the box that says "Remember my password" or whatever it is... The only problem with this is that if your friend is on a network, she's lost her Network Logon... CyberChuck |

| 141731 | 2003-05-06 06:50:00 | That's actually quite interesting Phoenix. Just checked, and that works in Win 95, but not in Win98. However Win 98 comes with a password editor on the CD that will delete individual passwords. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 141732 | 2003-05-06 08:18:00 | Hi all, Thanks for the replies, We still can't get the 'Connect Box'. We had to find 'Dialup Networking' through Start, Programmes, Accessories then communication & even then the said box was nowhere to be found. It was not listed either in 'Control Panel' or under 'Settings'. the only way to get the 'Connect Box' is by going to OE & going in through the 'you are working offline do you want to go online?' This is becoming a nightmare & we will sort out the removal of the password after we get the 'Connect Box' sorted. Pauline. |

| 141733 | 2003-05-06 08:48:00 | Hi Pauline if by Connect Box you mean Dial Up Networking, it is in My Computer. Cheers |

| 141734 | 2003-05-06 09:13:00 | Hi Pauline If you want to get to IE properties without opening the program, right click the desk top shortcut and choose properties at the bottom of the dialogue box . Which ver of 95 is it . If I remember rightly they treat dial up & networking slightly differently . Can't check my 95 box tho, the lids off and bits are missing . Cheers Murray P |

| 141735 | 2003-05-06 09:15:00 | What are you trying to get it to do Pauline. Do you want to connect first and then open I/Explorer or O/Express. Or do you want it to dial when you open up IE? There are various ways that can be achieved depending on what people are happy with. | Pheonix (280) | ||
