Re: Windows Explorer bypasses router password

said by jack b See Profile :

I can confirm this, it is happening here, too.
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?
This is not good! 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
