Missing dial up connections

S

Hey guys, I had a quick look through the Read Me but couldn't find anything pertinent to my problem.

Usually I had 2 dial up connections in the connections folder, but now they have disappeared from that folder. They're still there, because it'll tell me so if I try to create another one under the names I used before. Also I can still dial up by choosing a default connection and using an internet program. But now I don't get a notification (the icon in the system tray)
and the only connections I have in the connections folder are my LAN connections.

Any ideas?
 
If they have disappeared but are still there have you checked your settings in Folder Options to make sure it is set to show hidden files? :confused:
 
nah that's checked, always got that on. Anyway dial up connections can't be hidden... well it isn't an option I've seen anyway :)
 
you could create a shortcut on the desktop and link it to the file.
 
Yeah thanks for the tip but I still don't have notification in the system tray :/
 
Well anyone got any other ideas, I dread having to format again and reinstall :/
 
Perhaps using System Restore and rolling back to a date when you could see both connections?
 
A friend of mine fixed it while I was overseas, I'll ask him how he did it and post it here.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
