I can't check at the moment, but if you're talking about Windows
workstations using IE to access web pages on IIS Windows servers, then I am
fairly certain that you just need to set the properties of the web site in
IIS. Something like "Windows Authentication". Then it behaves
just as you described in your wish list.
