For some time now, i've been getting asked to connect to the internet when i
try and open a folder on my desktop. Can anyone tell me how to stop this from
happening?

Go to START, then PROGRAMS and then STARTUP and see what is in there. If
there is anything in there that may use the Internet and you DON'T need
running in the background. DELETE it from the STARTUP.

I had the same problem and this resolved it for me. Go into Control Panel,
Internet Options, click on the Connections tab and select "Never Dial A
Connection"
This sounds misleading and you can still connect using your ISP dial up icon
or clicking on the Internet Explorer "E" icon on your deskstop.
