Password in URL

[Susan]

I'm using the following code in a function that uses my
username and password to get into the correct folder and
run the cgi script.

FollowHyperlink "http://Username:[email protected]/
administration/scripts/uspsrequest2.cgi"

After running a series of Windows Updates it no longer
works. Now it prompts for a password or says it can't
find the page. Could this be from some "Security" from a
windows update? If so, any idea of how to find which one
so I can Uninstall it??

Thanks so much for any help!!

This was *definitely* from one of the Windows security updates.
I remember reading about it because it broke the behavior you describe
(which I use in my code too.)

I believe there is a registry switch you can flip to restore the old
behavior.
You need to check MSKB.
If you find it, you can post the link back here for other users.
