Have lost default network connection on laptop

After having to power down my wireless router to clear a problem connecting
to the net, now when I start Explorer on my laptop it doesn't connect to my
network automatically as it did prior to this power down. I now have to
manually connect to the network thru Start/Connect to. This never fails, but
I've lost the convenience of simply clicking on Explorer. I'm guessing
there's a setting/option that I can set up to get this ability back?

You may want to reset the wireless router.
