Internet Explorer and .htaccess directory protection

I have protected a directory on a web site using .htaccess.

When a wrong ID/PW combo is provided, the pop-up dialog box that asks
the ID/PW shows up a total of 3 times before the canned 401 Error
message (unauthorized access) gets displayed. Does Internet Explorer 6 have
a default setting that causes the pop-up box to show up 3 times before
displaying the 401 error message? If so, can this Internet Explorer setting
be changed?

(In other browsers such as Netscape 6 or Opera 7, there does not seem to be
a limit on the number of times the pop-up window shows up.)

Thanks.
Stephen
