Default Internet Connection Starting Automatically

I am running W98SE. When I start up windows my internet dial up
connection starts automatically. I have gone to Start Control Panel
Internet Options Connections and 'Dial Whenever A Network

Connection Is Not Present' is set. My understanding of this option is
that the connection will not start until Internet Explorer or Netscape
is started. Can anyone tell me why this is happening.
Thanks for any and all help.

Your understanding is wrong. Pay real close attention to these words you typed:
'Dial Whenever A Network Connection Is Not Present'
^ ^ ^ ^

In straight forward words:

A modem is not connected until you ask it to connect by activating IE, OE, Netscape
or any other such app. With your setting and no connection at boot, it will dial to
attempt a connection.
