Re: LocalHost

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

Here is what I wrote in response to a similar question in another forum

Possibly the asking for a password is being caused by an install of IE7.
That caused it for me. Supplying whatever username and password you use to
log on to your computer should do the trick.

This "feature" can also be disabled by going into the IE7 Tools | Internet
Options | Security | local Intranet and changing a couple of things. I
think I clicked on the sites button and unchecked the automatically detect
intranet network and then clicked on the advanced button and added
http://localhost to the websites in the collection. Closed everything and
then rebooted. Possibly I did more. But the solution is somewhere in those
settings.

Now if someone would just tell me how to make an older ASP application work
again on the local intranet. The installation of IE7 caused a connection to
an ODBC datasource to not work from an ASP page. Again it is a permission
problem.
