Windows has the option to automatically dial your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to establish an Internet connection. This option can be controlled using this tweak.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new DWORD value (or Binary on Windows 95) named "EnableAutodial", and set the new value to equal "1" to enable autodial or "0" to disable it.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
EnableAutodial	REG_DWORD	0x00000001 (1)


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Set...

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings]
Name: EnableAutodial
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
