In fact, if I open IE(6) and paste in 192.168.0.1 (d-link) the password dialog box pops up pre-filled in, and selecting OK brings me to the web admin application. I know I NEVER selected SAVE for this logon page. And from an explorer window, if I paste in the address, it just goes directly right to the first page in the router menu, no userID and password prompt at all! A feature? edit: here on XPpro -- ~Help find a cure for Cancer~ ~Proud Member of Team Discovery ~

We need to disable this feature. It must be XP SP2(me) and XP Pro(you) because I can't duplicate it on older machines -- Prevent Malware
