It just occured to me why my passworda were not working in urls. I normally use a shortcut on my desktop to access a log on my website that is password protected. Around the beginning of the month it stopped working and I thought the website was bugged for a few days.
It is indeed a patch that microsoft issued for Internet Explorer, which disable support for sending passwords over http in the format of http://username:password@mysite.com. See the article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489
It does make sense to disable it as it has always been a security risk. Just some useful information if you happened to installed the patch and not know why you urls were not working.
