Startup group and connection

[Guest]

I've put my Network Connection in the Startup group, and it is OK.
Now, I'd like to have OE and IE also open when I start the computer, but
only AFTER
a connection has been established with my ISP. Is that possible?
Thank you,
Juan

why not use IE to connect after you start IE?

Yep. Set Internet Explorer to automatically spur the connection, then drop a
shortcut into the startup folder rather than a shortcut to the connectoid.
Make IE changes under Tools/Internet Options/Connection tab, set it to
always connect.
