password bypass?

[kjk]

Hi Folks,

Does anybody know if a URL can be structured in a way that includes a
username and password, in order to bypass the Windows password dialog
box, and go directly to a password protected web page?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I don't quite understand your question. If you are trying to access a
password-protected webpage and that webpage puts up a logon box in your
browser, that isn't coming from Windows. It is coming from the webpage
and is displayed in your browser. To access the webpage, you will need
the username and password you set up when you registered at the website.

some sites allow this structure:

http://username:[email protected]

if this words or not depends on the protection system of the website

for ftp servers it is the same but with ftp:// in front

This would not be to bypass a login box located on a web page, this
would be to bypass the operating system login dialog box. The purpose
for this is that we have a password protected family website which
calls up the Windows login dialog box. One family member doesn't have
a real computer. He uses WebTV. When he attempts to go to the site,
he can't reach it because WebTV apparently doesn't contain the
password dialog box that's part of the Windows and Mac operating
systems.

Back in the old days you used to be able to specifiy
http://user:[email protected]

e.g. http://joe:[email protected]

No idea if you can still do that though....
