I noticed that you can use the url login from ftp sites, with html logins (the console).
syntax:
http://<user>:<pass>@<server>:<port>
example:
http://sysop:ih8iis@localhost:9999
Here the user "sysop" logged on with the password "ih8iis" to the server "localhost" on port "9999".
This is a security risk, but isnt so bad if your the only one using the computer. That way you can put it in a url shortcut.
btw, I have only tried this in IE.
Alternate passwords:
iissux
iluvaws

What you describe above is not specific to IE. All the web browsers should support this kind of URLs simply because it is the standard.
People are used to URLs being of the form:
protocol://servername[/path]
But the most general syntax of URLs is
protocl://[login[:password]@]servername[/path][#anchor][?query]
Parts between [ and ] are optional.
This is as you said a security risk if you store such an URL on your computer and if you know that other people can access it. But it isn't a security risk for the web server, because the login and the password are always send to it by the browser using the same method whether they come from a dialog box or from the URL.
