How do i disable this popup from appearing with out deleting my dialup adapter?
 
THANKS!

I know you said it's not the IE popup, but check this anyway: In IE, go to Tools > Internet Options. Go to the connections tab, and make sure that it is set to "Never dial a connection". What you set here has an effect on the entire system, not just IE, so I think it may be your problem...
