Dial-up networking has a mind of its own to pop up the dialogue box on
booting up - but not always.  It will close down, eventually, by just

A recent F-Prot definitions file was faulty and gave a false positive on and
recommended deletion of IExplorer.exe (and one other
file).  I followed this advice which then made Windows98 inoperable (the
computer would not boot up).  The only option was to re-install Windows 98.

When I start my computer (Win 98SE) I enter my user name
and password (I also tried a new user) and after that all
