When going to Tools InternetOptions Security LocalIntranet Sites,
my IE7 has all of
  Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones
  Include all sites that bypass the proxy server
  Include all network paths (UNCs)
selected/ticked. Would unticking the second (or all) fix this?
(I do not know whether those are default settings; that last setting
seems dangerous or at least counter-intuitive.)
