This enables the ability to log into http authenticated sites with out explicitly typing in userid password dialog boxes

As it turns out the following url is much more useful

Detailed instructions for doing this

Here is a summary of the settings

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE]

"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000

"explorer.exe"=dword:00000000
