Dear everyone

I have a webserver with Windows Advance server 2000 and IIS 5.0,I have a
virtual directory on it

with basic authentication,When I browse a file from this virtual directory
with this command:

"http://userName:PassWord@HostName/Path.../filename" if my O.S is Windows
98,2000 Professional or XP+SP1,

I can see it in my browser,But when I try it with Windows XP+SP2 ,I.E return
me this error message:

"The page cannot be displayed" And I couldn't Browse file.

How can I solve this problem with Windows XP+SP2?

Thanks
Mehdi

The syntax of passing username:password on the URL has been deprecated.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834489

To resolve this issue, it requires a client-side change. And since all newer
clients do not accept this syntax, I suggest you change your web application
to not use this syntax if you do not control the configuration of browsers
that use your application.
