I am running Windows XP and have just installed Service Pack 2. Now IE opens automatically when I connect to my internet provider. It didn't do this before SP2. How can I disable this function?

Hmm. That's pretty weird. SP2 has a new feature where you can enable program defaults. You can find it in the same Add / Remove programs setting in the Control Panel. You should be able to deselect IE from there. In addition, if you right click on IE and go to Properties, and then to Connections, you should be able to disable automatically loading your browser from there. Not exactly sure which of those two will fix your problem, but I'm pretty sure it's one of them.
