encrypted URL, e.g.: (ry2rvt55anmz1afokhkm21rw)

[Timo]

Our ASP.NET pages have an encrypted chunk added to each URL by IIS, e.g.

http://www.ourdomain.com/(ry2rvt55anmz1afokhkm21rw)/ourpage.aspx

What is the name of this feature so I can look it up and read about it? And
is there a setting that hides the encrypted chunk?

Thanks
Timo

That chunk is added by ASP.NET for session management. It will be added if
you have specified cookieless session management in your web.config

Here's an article to read about it:

URL mangling I think is the "techie" term use to describe this feature.
