SYMPTOMS

When you quit Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect even if the Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed option is enabled.

The following registry value also verifies that the option is enabled:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection Name"\EnableExitDisconnect

The value should be 01 00 00 00.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Easy CD Creator program version 4.0 by Adaptec starts automatically at startup.

To prevent the Easy CD Creator program from starting automatically, remove the entry for Easy CD Creator from the following registry key:
