You might be able to work around this by creating a "My Network Place"
(or whatever else they call that these days, I hate the wording of it),
that points at your m0n0 admin page.  These network places let you store
the required user/pass, so that when you click on it, it just opens the
page without asking for credentials again.

I *think* (and I stress think) that if you go to that location manually,
windows will try to use the credentials associated with the my network
place first, then prompt if those are rejected.  I could be totally
wrong on this part since I haven't tried it in a long time.  Worth a
shot to try though...

Here is MS explanation:

I love the "Workarounds for users"
If users typically type HTTP or HTTPS URLs that include user
information in the Address bar, or click links that include user
information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs, you can work around this new
functionality in Internet Explorer in two ways:
. Do not include user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs. 
. Instruct users not to include their user information when they type
HTTP or HTTPS URLs.

Sort of like telling a doctor that something hurts when you do this...

And the doctor tells you don't do that...
