Using your keyboard, type in the correct Username and Password.

Hi Chuba,
Your question is a little vague. Can you clarify what you mean. Is the
link you're talking about a shortcut that refers to a network resource? An
internet link? Something else. There might be an answer for you but I'll
need a little more information.

What you're seeing is a change from the last IE security rollup. From
Security Bulletin MS04-004 at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.mspx
<quote>
This Internet Explorer cumulative update also includes a change to the
functionality of a clear-text authentication feature in Internet Explorer.
The update removes support for handling user names and passwords in HTTP
and HTTP with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS URLs in Microsoft
Internet Explorer. The following URL syntax is no longer supported in
Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer after you install this software
update:
http(s)://username
assword@server/resource.extFor more information about this change, please see Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 834489.
</end quote>
There is more discussion (and a workaround) for URLs with user
name/password in the MS Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489
Also, there's a downloadable document about managing the new security
settings to be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6c-e2e1-4960-99bb-9757f7e9e31b&DisplayLang=en
You do not see this on the Win98 computer because this change wasn't
implemented in the rollup for that version of Windows.

Uninstall what? XP or the IE rollup patch that made the change?
