Hi Phil, Eric, Thanks for your responses, Chris McDonough sent me a message earlier today and told me what I had to do. My IE5.5 authentication settings were set so that it would automatically log me on to any application (ie. save my password). Because the first time I logged in was as 'superuser', it logged me in as 'superuser' everytime. Once I disabled this setting and set it to "Prompt for User name and Password", the login prompt appeared again. see: Tools->Internet Options->Security->Custom Level...

Ot,
I've seen this myself.
Are you using IE5.5?
It seems that on occasion when you have active desktop and outlook express running that win98/2K remembers the authentication details between instances of IE5.5.
Realising that Outlook Express uses IE to display mail and active desktop is also based on IE then this starts to make some sense.
It's only happened to me when using W2K but it definitely happened and made me doubt my sanity for a while ;)
I reinstalled the machine and downgraded to IE5 to get rid of the problem.
One ray of hope though is that IE5.5sp1 seems to cure the problem, at least for me.
