I have an extra connection "box" that comes up on my computer. I have OE6, IE7 & XP .. I usually connect by going to "start" then "connect to" and it has an ATT and show all connections listed and I click ATT. When I had some internet problems recently the rep got me to do a shortcut from the above to put on the desktop. Also usually at startup I have another smaller connection box that comes up that I think says "connecting ATT" or something like that.. would this un-needed & troublesome file be under start menu. I can't find it. But there seems to be several places start up stuff is listed under XP. Any help appreciated. If I am unclear PLEASE ask for more information. It is hard to write out this stuff sometimes :). Thanks!! Jane McCombs Gillespie gillespie4491@bellsouth.net Researching McComb/McCombs Gillespie (various) in SC & beyond
