loggin into sites

[SFG]

I used to be able to log into sites using the format as follows;

HTTP://XXXX:[email protected]
where xxxx was the ID and YYYY was the password.

I know there was a security change to prevent this - and also a way to
re-enable this. Anyone know how to do it.

Thanks

Hi,
This article has the registry edit you're looking for:
834489 - A security update is available that modifies the default behavior
of Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and in HTTPS URLs
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489

Hope this helps,
Don
