Steps to bypass the NT authentication in windows

Below is the excerpt from my friend Poornima over the steps to be carried
out to stop NT log in window to appear.

to re-enable it for the entire machine.

Or go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet

STEP 2:

Now create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values and set their value data
to 0.

STEP 3:

Now the URL should be used as – http://@www.

One such requirement is when you want to navigate to parent element of an element and may be parent of parent and even more.
