Hmmmm….I’m not sure. You could try going to Tools/Options/General and uncheck the box for “Allow Automatic Sign In When Connected to the Internet.”
I”m not sure if that will work or not but it’s about the closest thing I can think of that would. Let me know if that works.
-Doris-
The “Allow Automatic Sign In When Connected to the Internet.” is uncheck. When I sign on to msn sometimes it disconnects and the few mins later it auto reconnects. Still does that. I don’t want the auto reconnect. I want to be disable or something.
On the login screen, do you have “sign in automatically” if so, you would want it unchecked as well.
-Doris-Well, I can honesty say I don’t know a way to do it from WLM directly if those 2 blocks are unchecked. You could try changing the “remember me” setting on the login page.
In theory, if you disconnect, and it doesn’t remember your login, it shouldn’t reconnect. That said, when there is an odd service interruption or ISP drop, where you didn’t choose to sign out, I don’t know for sure WLM treats it the same as a real logout. Kind of sounds like it doesn’t if it’s still auto connecting with the blocks unchecked. However, perhaps this will be a workable solution….
If you don’t already have it, download Plus!. I found this script Sign-Back-In that allows you to set the number of minutes from the time you are logged out to sign back in. I’ve not tried it, but if that script will accept some huge number of minutes, it should (in theory) stop you from reconnecting automatically.
Let me know if this accomplishes what you’re trying to do.

The auto-reconnect is basically a convenience for WLM users, otherwise you’d have to log in manually whenever the connection terminates. For me that’s one more annoying chore to do.

I think its annoying the auto reconnect. Maybe I don’t want to connect back again.
