Connecting automatically to the Sympatico High Speed Edition service
If you want to connect to the Internet automatically when you start your computer (that is, you don't want to have to manually start Access Manager and click the Connect button each time), follow these instructions.
Double-click the Access Manager icon on the desktop. Double-click the Sympatico icon. Right-click the Access Manager icon at the bottom right of your screen (in the system tray), then click Application Settings .
In the Settings window, click the checkbox beside Auto-Connect if you want to connect automatically, bypassing the need to click the Connect button.
Do not check this box if you want to click the Connect button every time you connect.
Click the box beside Launch Access Manager at Windows Startup if you want the Access Manager to start and connect when your computer starts.
Click to uncheck Launch Default Browser after Connection if you do not want your browser to start automatically after the Access Manager connects.
Click OK .
Note: You may change these options as often as you wish.
