Explorer problems

[Mick]

I've downloaded and installed all of the recommended XP
upgrades. Now when I log on to Explorer my home page
(MSN.com) never comes until I hit refresh? And when I log-
off I don't get the message for the automatic disconnect.
Are these problems fixable?

Hi Mick,

For the latter:

Check your settings here:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Settings/Advanced/
Disconnect when...

When you quit Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect even
if the Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed option is enabled.

The following registry value also verifies that the option is enabled: Go to
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection
Name"\EnableExitDisconnect. The value should be 01 00 00 00.

This behavior can also occur if the Easy CD Creator Adaptec starts
automatically at startup. If this is the case:

To prevent the Easy CD Creator program from starting automatically, remove
the entry for Easy CD Creator from the following registry key:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
