 JC> When I double click the Explorer icon, Explorer loads and then the

 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.
