Post Windows Start up

My kids' computer is networked to mine, and everytime they boot mine connects to the internet. Obviously one of the programs on the Start menu has an option selected somewhere that tells it to do it. I suspected Microsoft Messenger, and sure enough, it had an option to connect on Windows start, so I unticked that option, no result. I then removed MSN altogether, and as you would expect, got no joy.

I thought I would go back to the joys of DOS and remove the offending instruction from Autoexec.bat; hey, what happened to autoexec.bat? W98 has apparently decided it doesn't need that crap anymore, so where do I find the startup sequence?
