From the "I Have No Patience for Dialog Boxes" department, Lockergnomie Daniel Hindman has found a great way to get single-click access to your dial-up Internet account. "Open your Dial-Up Networking folder in 'My Computer.' In the menu, select 'Connection' then 'Settings.' Make sure there are no checkmarks in the 'Prompt for information before dialing' and 'Show a confirmation dialog after connected' boxes. Press 'OK' to close the dialog box. Then, IE4/5 users can drag the DUN account icon onto the Toolbar (in the Taskbar) to create a shortcut that's one click away!" NOTE: this tweak is only good if your username and/or password have already been entered and do not need to be changed regularly.
