My ISP uses captive portal which automatically logs out after few minutes of inactivity. Whenever I resume from sleep http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=219472&clcid=0x409 link opens in my default browser. I know of Windows Network Location Awareness Service will be checking for internet access. I know of registry change can be made to disable this functionality completely (answered here on superuser) Why does Windows 8 open Bing.com by itself? .

Can I change this default link to point it to my captive portal login page itself directly?? I can't find reference to this anywhere. Please help.

You can disable it via setting following registry entry from 1 to 0:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet\EnableActiveProbing.
