Accessing the internet

When accessing the internet with Windows XP the log on screen does not require me to enter my password, I am using a landline modem and using virgin net, when I click my internet icon I am connected automatically however when using
Windows 7, each time, I have to enter my password which is a bit of a bind, any suggestion as to how I can get the auto access I get with XP

I haven't used a dialup connection for many years and certainly not with Windows 7.

IIRC there was a checkbox in XP, at the point where the username and password was entered, which asked if you wanted the password to be remembered for next time.

You may have to set up the connection again to get to see this option.

If Win7 doesn't have this I'm stumped.

I'm not sure that ray10 is on dialup ? maybe just that on xp it is set up as administrator and requires no log in.
