Mr. Internet - (Direct download: 28 kilobytes) Mr. Internet is a excellent, free
app that sits in your Windows' system tray (by the clock)
and allows you to launch your Internet connection, Web
browser, FTP client, E-mail client, chat client, and news
client! It can also automatically click on the connect
button on the "Connect to" dialog box, thus
saving you a step in getting online.
NetLaunch - Here's an
essential free utility that sits idly in your system tray
just waiting for you to make a Dial-Up Networking
connection. When it senses a connect or disconnect event,
it will launch or close programs that you've configured.
Adding programs to the Launch List is just a matter of
"drag and drop" and each program can be
configured individually. Each Dial-Up connection can be
configured independently, as well. Highly cool. Here's a screen shot. NetLaunch is offered in several
languages, including Chinese, Dutch, French, Italian,
Russian and more. 102 kilobytes. (For Windows 98/95).

and costs. Easy to use. This site is in Dutch; if you
can't find the program, the direct download link is here. (For Windows: 926
kilobytes). Available in Dutch and English languages.
