A microsoft security patch disabled URLs of the format

There are programmatic ways to get around this but I can't find an
example in Javascript.
I've seen the msdn knowledge base article on the subject

The registry hack is no good for customers. We can't make them edit
their registry.
I think it is possible to access an ActiveX object that will allow the
username and password to be set programatically.
Under IE Javascript is capable of handling ActiveX objects. Is it
possible to access sites with Basic Auth by allowing Javascript to set
the username and password?
Example code would be great.
Thanks for any help!
