Different Default Dial-up Connections for Different Users

[Guest]

I have recently switched from a P2 with Win98 to a P4 with XP Pro, SP2. I
have 7 user accounts set up, my own as Administrator and the others as
Limited.
Each user dials a different number to access the internet.
Is there a way to set the default dial-up connection to a different one for
each user.
This is just for convenience, as they can scroll the list of connections in
the dial-up dialogue box.

Windows does not provide this, as this setting is machine-specific and
not user-specific.

You could create different dial up connections *each* with the required
phone number for your users. Then create a link on each users desktop for
the respective connection. You would need to be logged on with your Admin
account to do this.
