Now I just have to go on an archeological dig to find the
syntax to
silently
log on via a hyperlink.

Here's the fun part: that doesn't work in IE anymore.
There was an
exploit involving the parsing of this information that came
out last
year or the year before. Everyone except Microsoft fixed
their browsers.
Microsoft just disabled support for passing the user name
and password
in the URL when going over HTTP or HTTPS.

BTW, the syntax is: http://username:password
hostname.
