Prevent dial-up connection when using IE as a display?

[Fbunn]

I'm writing an app that uses the new DHTML editing component. This component uses IE5 as the background processing engine that parses the HTML text. (The component is an HTML editing OLE server)

Whenever the app is started, the dial-up connection to the internet is ALSO started. My app only uses local content. How can I prevent this dial-up connection from starting when my app is launched?????

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Try to use the ie parameter like that:
"file://c:\windows\test.htm"

Hi
Two more Ideas if the file\\ doesn't work.
1.
toggle your global setting off- on-line during
loading components.
2.
Change the registry value EnableAutodial to binary
00 00 00 00 at the begining of your app.
After the first local content load is made,
switch it back to it's original value.

I know the second idea is a bit drastic, but it was the only way I could get rid of the dial-up box in one of my apps.
So I hope you don't need to do it as it seems a real ugly solution.
