 I did look at this first but was told this cannot be done.
 Keep in mind i need central login screen.  I don't believe with normal HTTP
 authentication i  can specifiy which directory to take the user to.  Hence
 why i needed PHP/Mysql to specify the path
 The server is Win2003, IIS.
 
 I'm stuck :(
