Quoting a Virtual Reality CommLink From John Colapietro To All
JC> When I double click the Explorer icon, Explorer loads and then the
JC> dialer loads to dial my ISP. The dialer then waits for me to input
JC> my password for my ISP before it dials. Is there a way to have the
JC> password passed to the dialer automatically so that I do not need to
JC> input this info each time I bring Explorer up? "Save password" and
JC> "Connect automatically" are not enabled in the the Windows dialer and
JC> I can not place a check mark there to enable these items. Is there a
JC> way to mark these items somewhere else?
1. You could get one of the keyboard stuffer programs that will let you
write a little script file with your password in it that will run your dialer
and supply it with the password.
2. You could write a .bat file and use the echo command to send your
password to the program? Or redirect a text file containing only your
password and a carriage return to your dialer program?
3. Use ansi.sys and redefine one of your function keys so you just have to
hit one key to type in your password.
