solution: Remove AOL and call AOL tech support to cancel your account..get Comcast or whatever is your cable provider.

You can't have an always on connection with AOL broadband..because you need to contact through AOL..it's not like charter or comcast where it is automaticly on once you turn on your computer.
What do you mean by minimizing your browser? Just use IE and not the AOL browser crap. |

That's a feature of AOL, you wont be able to get rid of it. Just connect, minimize AOL and open up IE or whatever browser you want to use.

I gotta ask. If you don't want to use their browser, why have AOL? Cut out the middle man (AOL in your case) and save some money if you don't want their browser.

When I used to have AOL (for 5 years!) I simply used to minimise the AOL window and open up IE (like an above poster states). The AOL browser is particulalry nasty....always has been, always will be!
BTW, AOL must be losing customers because they seem to be becoming more desperate with their aggresive advertising.

The AOL browser *is* IE, it's just in an ugly frame.
