SYMPTOMS
When you use AT&T WorldNet to connect to the Internet, Internet Explorer
may start automatically.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because AT&T WorldNet starts Internet Explorer
after each successful connection by default.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure AT&T WorldNet to not start Internet
Explorer after each connection. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start the AT&T WorldNet Connection Manager. To do this, double-click the
Connect To AT&T WorldNet Service icon on the desktop.
- Click Profile Properties.
- Click the "Start the Internet Software after connecting to AT&T WorldNet
Service" check box to clear it, and then click OK.
After you make this change, you must manually start Internet Explorer after
you connect to AT&T WorldNet.
