Every now and again, I might have to use a dial-up internet connection via another tethered phone, i.e. Bluetooth connection to the GPRS modem. Now I am back on 'ops normal', i.e. using a shared internet connection on my own phone, or on my 3G stick, but some apps, especially IE9, keep popping up a 'dialup connection' dialogue, which I cannot dismiss enough times ever, to make to stay away.

How can I tell these idiot applications that I no longer need a dial-up connection?

I use Bluetooth tethering occasionally, too. Here's how to make sure that connection is established only manually in Windows 7:

  1. Open Start menu
  2. Type int opt - the top result will be Internet Options, open it
  3. Swithc to Connections tab
  4. Make sure that Never dial a connection is selected in the group of radio buttons under the list of connections
  5. Click OK
