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.

Hrmph, instead of actually fixing the problem Microsoft decided to just circle around it :rolleyes:

If you didn't catch the part in the Microsoft document, then here's how you get the URLs to work again.
How to disable the new default behavior for handling user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs
To disable the new default behavior in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values in one of the following registry keys and set their value data to 0.
For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
For the current user of the program only, set the value in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
