Setting program for internet access

[Jir]

At one time I had set up which type of internet access I wanted windows to
use if a program called for internet access. At the time I only had a dial
up access through AOL. I now have a DSL access and want to change that
preference to use dial up only as a last resort. I do not remember where
that preference was located and my computer still trys to call up AOL if a
program I am using requires internet access. Any ideas on this as I would
love to change this preference?
Thanks

Start AOL, choose connection options next to sign on, follow instructions.

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections, and select
"Never dial a connection".
