Re: Getting windows logon when using forms authentication

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Does the folder in which the users are accessing and being prompted for a
login have a web.config file? Maybe the authentication type is not Forms,
has a different form name, or its attempting to impersonate someone that
doesn't have access rights to that file, thus the login prompt. If the
web.config file exists, rename it to web.config.old and see if that stops
the login prompt while not breaking anything else too. Are the files in the
same folder as the where the authentication occurs?
