I recently upgraded to XP from W98. Previously I was able to close the Internet Explorer window and this would automatically bring up a dialog box asking if I wanted to disconnect my dialup (AT&T). With XP, when I close the windows the connection stays active. How can I set to automatically disconnect when I close all windows?

Also, 98 used to have a right click option on the tool bar to minimize all windows. Is there any way to get this back?

Look at Control Panel|INTERNET OPTIONS|CONNECTIONS tab. Click
SETTINGS|ADVANCED and enable the feature.

In the QuickLaunch toolbar there should be a Show Desktop button. Click
on it.
