Subject: unable to access web site embeds username & password
 
Dear all,

I have discovered if I access my intranet that embeds the username and
password, it will not work on workstations have the latest Microsoft
security patches installed.

http://username:password@webserver/website


Does anyone have a solution to this because I still don't know which
security patch that inhibits the access. 

On the other hand, I don't really want to leave my workstations
unprotected
too.


Thanks for your contribution.

Much appreciated.


Regards,
Seeker.
