Disable Automatic Modem Connections at Startup

If remote connections are enabled in Windows, the system may try to initiate an Internet connection at Windows startup or at the start of many applications. This setting disables that behaviour.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new String value, or modify the existing value called 'EnableRemoteConnect' using the settings below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.


Settings:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole]
Name: EnableRemoteConnect
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: "Y" = enable automatic connections, "N" = disabled
