I think I have a setting wrong, but cannot find where to change it. At startup, the internet explorer automatically connects & I would prefer to connect myself for better security. Does anyone know how to correct?
#1 Go to Start -> All Programs -> Startup.
#2 Is IE, listed in there? Or if not, any web site listed in there?
If you do not find it in the Start Menu you can download Glary Utilities from here:

THey have a module called Startup Manager that I use quite often to determine and/or disable what is running at startup.
