all I can guess is in the registry, somewhere in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,
Yes, indeed. HKEY_Current_Config\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings is set to 01 00 00 00 If I go into the Settings/ControlPanel/InternetOptions etc. thing and enable autodialing, it dutifully changes the registry setting to 00 00 00 00. Then the next time I reboot, it's back to 01 00 00 00.
This is as far as I can go with my limited technical abilities.
