user/pass authentication problem

[ron]

Hi,

I am having this problem for the past couple of weeks. i
cant find what it is:
When i am trying to access a restricted site by basic
authentication, the user/pass popup window does not
appear at all. Also, when i am trying to use the url
format http://user:[email protected] it doesnt work
either.
surfing sites works OK if it's not restricted area.

any ideas?

Microsoft disabled this capability in sp1. Great huh???
There is some registry fix at this link, but I could not
figure it out. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489

It doesn't work for me
Also, i can understand they disabled the format
http://user:[email protected]/ but, why the user/pass
popup window doesnt appear when im trying to access
restricted site?

Set these Reg keys to enable user/password in the browser:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWOR
D_DISABLE]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000
"explore.exe"=dword:00000000

I've found this does not work on some older win OS
installs, like a win95 machine thats been udpated with
win98SE.

Hope this helps.

I am also trying to solve this tricky problem. I did go to my registry but I have a problem with your(Jerry)fix. For some reason my registry string is different from what you show. I get up to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorerbut then \Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWOR is missing. Is this different for specific OS's.
I am running Me

Thank
