Thanks

I don't know what browser you are using but when I click on a link like that in Firefox it will ask me if I want to log in to that site using those IDs. Try Firefox (and not just for that....)

If you're using IE, wasn't there a patch last year that made this harder to do? In firefox and Opera it should automatically work.

Nikilidstrom · 01-24-2005, 07:53 PM

yeah glytch, it made IE unable to recognize that as a valid address, supposedly for security reasons. Someone posted a fix for it on TFP soon after it came out. Might still be able to find it with a search.

I think what you are looking for is here...

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...ght=fix-ie.reg

NOTE---follow the instructions to the letter...
the name MUST be fix-ie.reg, because when you click on it,
it will execute the update to your registery.

this thread contains the info for both xp and older versions..

or, just do a search on fix-ie.reg...

Or.... you can just put in the login and pass manually and not be such a lazy ass.

Yup, it's pretty clear why you're doing htis, and probably visiting several sites using this method, and prbably getting a lot of "pennywize" messages too!

Anyway, my suggestion, resist updating IE with the registry update, and switch to Firefox as your "special interest" browser. It has a extension so that you can spoof from right in the browser too, so you can use user/pass combos and spoofs, all without changing anything. And, as a bonus, you can dump that huge virus that is actually called MSIE.

Good Luck...

Peace,

Firefox also has extensions to keep private data private. This link has more than enough I believe for your "use" (If I read your post correctly!

)

There's a link for a windows registry fix at www.loginaccepted.com
A windows security update put a stop to auto logins awhile back.
