Tips for Internet Explorer - name and password get you in fast
InternetFixes - Tip
by ClifNotes

Here's a great tip from Gary at InternetFixes. Make sure to check out the rest of his tips. He's got a real gold mine of them.

Quote from the website - Entering a Name and Password in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

When you access a site that requires a user name and password, you can simply type the whole thing into the Address box. As an example, suppose you want to access www.mysite.com using a name and password. You would enter

http:// username:password@www.mysite.com

and press Enter.

If you need to access the same site frequently, you can simply save the address as a URL and place it in the Links bar for easy access.

Clif,
Just an FYI regarding the use of the username:password@ login.... those that have installed the following security update will no longer be able to use the direct login URL format.
