Launching IE prompts "use Dellnet"

I restored my computer to installation configuration, after which launching Internet Explorer brings up a window that displays use Dellnet for internet access. The target on the shortcut points to the IE executable and I even tryed openeing IE from explorer with the same result. Nothing in the Intenet Properties dialog seems to change the result and my feeble dive into the registry has been fruitless. Whats up?

    Dell assumed that everyone getting a new computer would want to use DellNet, so they tried to make it easy. The problem is, that not everyone wants to use DellNet, but Dell doesn't make it easy for those people. To fix this, all you have to do is Right-Click on "Internet Explorer" and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. Then click on the "Connections" tab, where you can use "Setup", "Add", or "LAN Settings" to configure any connection you want. I hope this helps you.

    I've done that as per the Dell document's instruction recommened in the forum. It works immediately, but after a new boot it reverts to Dellnet by MSN popping up. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I did this so long ago, I may not remember all of the steps. Try setting your Default connections to something other than DellNet on the Intenet Properties connection tab, and try setting your home page on the General Tab to something other than the default.
