Default [Fixed] Where does the DUN file reside in Windows 98SE?
Hi :-D, I hope I am in the right forum for this question. (My O/S is Windows 98SE)

I have a small program called "MyRun" which allows me to launch a group of programs with one click. (e.g. I launch my calc.exe together with notepad.exe)

If I want to make a group, "MyRun" simply asks for the path to each program's exe file and then saves these paths in a *.mrn file. Clicking on the *.mrn file will launch all the programs in that group.

Here is my problem.? I want to launch a small systray email monitor together with my Sprint.DUN dialup program.

However "MyRun" wants to know the path to my Sprint.Dun or its exe file. I thought I'd enter "sprint.dun" instead - but I can't find a path to any file by that name when I search my HD!? ?

If I drag a short cut to my desktop and enter the path as C:WINDOWS\DESKTOP\Sprint.lnk ... the program doesn't work.? It doesn't seem to like links only the originating file. But where is that?

Can anyone suggest a solution?? :|

For your interest, the freeware program "MyRun" is at;

The DUN file is your dial-up networking connection icon in your "Network Connections" folder. You should be able to point your "MyRun" program at that.

My ISP is Sprint, Canada.

A search of my HD with hidden folders shown, shows no folder called "Network Connections", nor a file called Sprint.Dun except at

C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.dun

C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.dun - that's the icon you double click on to start your internet dialup right?
