.reg to re-enable user:pass in IE
Here's the .reg for the tweak I mentioned in my last post: iefix.reg
It enables user:pass@ on machine level!
(And just to be safe, not that I fear anything :p)
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if something goes wrong when running this .reg -
Re-Enable user:pass@ IE functionality.
Here's a dillema:
On one side you want to keep your machine up to date with all latest patches, but then there is "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894)", which disables the user:pass@ way of authentication.
Now, do you update and loose this functionality (which can be handy), or don't apply it but have the other security it fixes unpatched?
Here's what I did:
I patched.

But I really, really wanted the user:pass back, and it's even in an RFC MS has linked. -
Introduction.
And most importantly: C#
The year before we started getting C# in school, I already started learning it, and boy it's great. I'm addicted to C#, even more then I ever was to PHP.
C# got me in contact with everything .NET related.
I love the framework, the power. It makes things much easier.
It's even easy to convert code from VB.Net to C#! :)
Now I'm at a point where I got a decent coding background, I made all the usual coding mistakes (and probably will make a lot more) and now I'm ready to start applying everything. Creating real C# programs for companies. Getting more involved with other programmers. Giving something back to all the resources that helped me learn things.
One of the things that encouraged me, was being confronted with what could be my future. I had first contact with Microsoft personnel, and they were so friendly and helpful providing me with developer resources, something I had never experienced before. MS folks were the first to discover as real coders. I had email conversations with some about coding stuff, something I otherwise never have, I'm more used to the local help-desk, answering questions and now here these ppl are, answering my questions. That's a real nice feeling. :)
I'm also attending the Belgian Dev-IT Pro Days (DevDays), with the support of MS.
Well, that's about it for now. I got nothing more to tell about myself. If you want to know something, just ask.
Greetings
