111. Modify the Internet Auto-Dial Settings

In Windows there is an option to automatically dial your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to
establish an Internet connection. This option can be controlled using this tweak. Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings

Create a new binary value named EnableAutodial, and set the new value to equal 01 00 00
00 to enable autodial or 00 00 00 00 to disable it. Please take care while giving the values.

This restriction can be used on a computer wide basis by adding it to keys corresponding to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Micrsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings.
