I have a bunch of KML files which sit on a web server that uses basic HTTP authentication to verify access rights to the files. However, the annoying part is that every-time I start Google Earth it prompts me with an empty username and password dialog. I have 8 of these secured KML files that I load each time I open Google Earth, so for the next couple of minutes I'm simply entering usernames and passwords.

or,
2. have Google Earth save the credentials
