Photoshop Elements: How do I turn off automatic connection to the internet in PSE?

Hi James,

Can you click on your name on the app bar and sign-off?

If you go to Preferences > Plug-ins, then uncheck "Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet", it should prevent that from happening.

I'm using PSE and I went to Preferences > Plug-ins and it appears that I have no plugins so there was no "Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet" checkbox.

Thanks for the try, I really would prefer a simple on/off button on the welcome screen

Yes, it comes up with James and when I click on my name the black box that asks for my password appears and when entered I can sign out.

Yes it appears that it did something, when I clicked on edit there was less than a second before the edit screen appeared. Now how do I go back? You are a really great guy to spend this time. Just so you know I was an IBM SE Area software Marketing Programs Manager and at 71 I really appreciate your assistance.

Jim

I owe you one! This is a pix right after my first flight after building the plane along with my wife ((IBM international Product Manager)
