More info?)
Thanks for your help Jonathan. I have however another question for you. I
have set up MSN Messenger to start when I connect to the internet. In Tools,
Options, General I enabled the "Allow automatic sign in when connected to the
Internet", while the "Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Windows"
option is disabled. Is there an option to make MSN Messenger to automatically
close when I disconnect my internet connection. When I close my internet
connection the "Connect to" dialog box keeps showing up because MSN Messenger
want to connect to the internet.
Thanks again.
