Hi,
I need some help. Is there anyway of setting up xp so
that when you swap between desktops you don't lose your
dialup connections? Thanks
Lee
To keep a dial-up connection open when switching between users:
0. Log onto an account that has Administrator privileges.
1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the dial-up connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Options.
5. Put a check mark in the box "Prompt for name and password,
certificate, etc".
6. Click OK.
7. Double click the connection.
8. Put a check mark in the box "Save this user name and password for
the following users".
9. Click "Anyone who uses this computer".
10. Click Dial.
After that, the connection will stay open when switching users. You
can go back to step 5 and un-check the box if desired.
