My dad's computer has stopped automatically connecting to the internet on start up.
Instead he has to go into the connection box and manually do it.
OK so it's only a couple of clicks but it is frustarting him no end and me too as I am sure I fettled it last time.
It's probably straightforward but can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

he could copy a shortcut to his browser into the startup folder. That would then start his browser when the machine starts.
if he's using dial up then it could be set to automatically connect and remember his password.
Using broadband it's just the same but without having to remember the dial up password.
The above works in every version of windows I've used and that's all of them except Vista.
