Hi all,
a little problem i'd like to throw at you:

using IE and FTP over HTTP to drag/drop files to a IIS FTP server....

when user saves password in the connection properties of the 'network Place', all works fine.. but there is a three month limit to passwords on the domain. and when the user changes his domain password, when he tries to use the ftp shortcut, it tries to connect using the old password, without checking to see if it has changed. result being that the user's account, after 3 attempts is locked out.

found the key in the registry that deals with this part of IE:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Microsoft/FTP/Accounts
with key 'Login attributes'
when value is on 6, save password has been checked..

i'd like to know if anyone can help by giving me the value to deactivate or bypass the checking of the save passbord box, to force the user to type in his current NT password each time, or even better, to make IE detect that the password has changed.

any ideas would be hugely appreciated
thx
David
