11945 2001-04-29 02:38:00 I have downloaded IE5.5 and now when I close Explorer and outlook express i dont' get the automatic option box popping up to ask if I want to stay connected ot disconnect now
How can I get this back as i find it helpful to reminnd the kids to disconnect and free up the telephone line when they are finished on the net
I also downloaded a fix for the shutdown problem in Win 98 from windowsupdate.mocrosoft.com at the same time and some critical security updates

Any suggestions?

Hope this helps
