Usernames and Password in Links

[Alex]

Hi
I've been trying to get the link format of
"http://username:[email protected]/protectedPage.html" to work and
have just discovered that Microsoft have removed this functionality with a
security update.

The page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489 is
very useful, however, I would like to be able to use InternetSetOption()
function within a VBScript so I can get the same functionality as the old
style link.

I don't want to modify the registry or force the user to save the password.
Does any one have a VBScript or JScript example of how to get the same
functionality as the old style link?

Thanks
AO

Generally this is done bby having a checkbox on the connection page that
allows to store locally the userid and/or password. This way the user can
choose wether or not he want to store its id/password locally (of course
it's likely better to crypt possibly even with some expieration such as the
year/month so that it will finally expires).
