Tata Photon automatic redirection to Tataindicom.com and yahoo

Pardon my colorful language in this post. But I have a reason! I am pissed offAngry

Just plugged in my Tata Photon USB dongle and got totally frustrated by this image. I mean, why the fu** is Yahoo and Tata Photon having this as home page in the middle of my presentation. I decided to fix this fu**ing automatic redirection for good. If you are equally frustrated by the automatic redirection crap by Tata Photon and cheap publicity, the following steps should help you out.

First up, I fired up my Process Monitor [you don’t need to do this] to find the following.

As you can easily notice, the following program is responsible for this. Good lord, they have hardcoded this stuff in the Dialer itself. Angry

    Rename this file. [I decided to delete it!!!]
    Time to create your own dialer. Winking
     On your desktop [or any location of your choice] create a file called Dialer.bat and paste the following line in the batch file. Tata Photon+ is the name of the connection in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections. Username and password is internet

rasdial "TATA PHOTON+" internet internet

    You’re done. Instead of that wicked dialer, double click on this Dialer.bat and enjoy the Internet connectivity.

No more pesky startup pages!!!

Hope this helps! Wave
