Random Strings appearing in URL

[KarlStoney]

Hey Everyone,
Please can anyone help me with this issue, i'm developing a .net website
(VB) and recently (for no reason) when i go to the site
(http://mailgate/companyweb/) it adds a random string to the url, for example
it may become http://mailgate/companyweb/(S(aolspj454tfeqoz1fi4vyh55))/

It is driving me mad because these strings are dynamic, almost like they are
some sort of session ID, therefore people can't copy and paste links to
eachother...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, it's your session id, you need to turn off cookieless mode:
