I am trying to get an auto disconnect prompt when a user closes IE6 (win XP).
Currently you have to remember to click on connection in system tray and close connection there. It works real well unless user forgets to do so and leaves connection open.
I know I can set a time out to disconnect after a period of inactivity. Also, I know you are "supposed to be able to get an auto disconnect prompt" by doing the following:
Hit tools at the top and go down to internet options in internet explorer. Go under the connection tab and highlight default dialer. then hit settings over to the right. then hit advanced down at the bottom. down at the bottom of this page it says "disconnect when connection may no longer be needed".
But, the "disconnect when connection may no longer be needed" does not work on the computer in question. You can check the box but you still have to click on connection and then close it.
Couldn't find anything in Microsoft Knowledgebase related to IE6. Previous versions of IE (and previous versions of Windows) occasionally required a registry edit to fix the problem. But I couldn't even find the keys mentioned in Win xp registry.
