Is there anyway to stop this wizard from showing off everytime?

I had the same problem. I tried the incomplete advise of rraj - you didn't tell us what to disable in the preferences - there are so many startup applications in the list, so i guessed it to be network manager.
This caused the wizard to stop everytime I start-up, but it also made my network connection icon to totally disappear from my panel.

What I did to correct the problem was this:
1. Placed back Network Manager in my startup apps.
2. Logged off, then logged in again to my account
3. When the wizard appeared, I clicked Forward, to create a second copy of the mobile broadband.
4. Edited the connection properties (right-click the network icon, select Edit Properties, then pick the newly-created broadband connection)
5. Checked the Connect Automatically, and Unchecked the Available to all users
6. Deleted the old mobile connection after copying its settings to the 2nd copy.

Then I restarted this, and the wizard was gone, but my network icon still in the panel

I had to repeat these steps for all the users configured in my Ubuntu PC, bec. the wizard popped up to all the user logins.
