When an old XP machine I still have in use is connected via LAN cable to the network, it already has its connection established before the desktop appears and applications and services start appearing (e.g. email client in Startup folder, teamviewer service, etc). So all is good.
But that machine had to be relocated to a place where only WiFi would be possible. The problem is that the desktop appears and several applications and services start appearing and looking for internet access and the wifi connection isn't yet established. So teamviewer complains with a popup window, email (outlook express) says it can't get mail and makes its stupid suggestions of maybe the password is wrong or network settings are wrong and it can't try again for another whole minute (despite the wifi connection being available after only a couple of seconds).
So I have to go around clicking on the red X to close various 'complaining windows'.
Is there any way I can force windows to establish the wifi connection before any user-level applications and services get to run ?
