I don't use Windows, nor own windows, so I need some help. My parents just bought a new laptop that came with WindowsXPHome installed. Their old laptop had WindowsME.

On the ME machine, when they wanted to use the internet, they would click on the InternetExplorer icon, the dialup dialog would automatically come up, they would connect and check their email, etc.... When they were done, they would close IE, and the dialup would ask if they are done, and if they said yes, it would disconnect them.

WindowsXPHome does the autoconnect thing, but when they are done with the internet, it doesn't ask them if they are done and hang up. It just quietly leaves the connection up and running.

Is there anyway to get XPHome to ask if they want to disconnect from the internet when the last program using the internet closes?

Thanks for the help.
