It didn't ask for the password after I installed the nightly the other day. Everytime I closed the browser and then double-clicked the tray icon, it opened the browser and didn't prompt for the password.
However, I have since rebooted, and now it always asks for the password (if I haven't already got a browser open displaying slimserver). IE caches my password, but it always prompts me (I just press return or OK). >The previous app was a (badly made) wrapper around an Internet >Explorer widget.

Extending on my observations previously, some other annoyances are: 1. prompting for the password every time I re-open the browser. 2. Remebering the browser window position and size. I generally set the slimserver UI window to a wide but half screen height window. If I change the browser window shape and it is then the last browser window that I close, all other IE windows that I then open will have that shape. As I then go browsing the web, I change the window to a portrait shape. If I close the browser and then re-open for slimserver, I have to reshape it again. With the old GUI, at least I only had to set the size once - closing the window just hid it, so clicking the tray icon would restore the same window shape and it would not affect normal IE windows. >Exactly right.

My general user account does not have admin rights, so I usually open services control panel using run-as admin to start slim (if I ever need to; generally only if it dies and fails to restart). >Single click brings up the menu, double click opens the window.

There is no such thing as minimise to tasktray any more (minimises to taskbar instead), meaning I have to close it, and then later re-open the url, and resize the window. I usually have loads of other internet explorer windows open, which are grouped on the taskbar. This makes it harder to find slimserver UI from the clutter. It was much more useful being a little icon on the tasktray, where a single-click would restore right back to where I last left it. >That's true. Luckily, most browsers let you turn the various >toolbars off, so that's completely within your control. > Yes, but I don't really want to do it each time I open slimserver UI, and then change the settings back if I open a browser for internet browsing. Other than that, all of the other facilities work really well. But then there's not much that can go wrong with a link to slimdevices.com!
