IMPORTANT : This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.


SYMPTOMS
When you quit Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the EnableAutodisconnect value in the registry is set to a data value of 00 00 00 00.



RESOLUTION
WARNING : Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).


To resolve this issue, modify the data value of the EnableAutodisconnect value in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Change the data value to 01 00 00 00. After you make this change and quit Registry Editor, restart your computer.

NOTE : Auto Disconnect can also stop responding if another application is using the connection. The other connection may not be obvious. Applications such as Active Desktop, some screen savers, offline content collection for Internet Explorer, and some scheduled tasks may use the Internet connection in the background.

When you change the Auto Disconnect option, the setting may not take affect immediately. You must close Internet Explorer, and then disconnect from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). When you reconnect to your ISP, the settings take affect.
