I don't use LW but apparently they disabled the disconnect option in version 5. Does this mean it connects on boot up?? Bad Bad Bad LW.

I would go to task manager and disable it from there if that's possible for you.

Now it's File > Exit. There's no 'connect' in the File menu any more - once you exit then you'll have to re-start LW to connect again.

If you want to set up LW so that it shuts down when you close the window - tools > options > advanced > system. Tick the box to exit program when you click X > ok.

Hi Remoc,
There's still the option to run on system startup or not - just that now it's within tools > options > advanced > system

Thanks Birdy, I knew there must have been a better solution than I offered and I knew someone would come to my rescue. LoL

Thanks, Birdy

I still can't talk myself into trying LW 5.
