[WT-support] Pasting your Win-Test web site password into IE9 doesn't work right

I've just learned that if you use Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) to log on to
the Win-Test download web sites:

http://download.win-test.com/v4/bin


-or-

http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly


if when prompted to log in, you try to copy and *paste* your web site
password into IE9, it doesn't work!  This is some kind of new security
feature of IE9 that could cause much frustration.  Other browsers (Firefox,
Google Chrome) don't work like that; password copy and paste works OK (for
now).

However, if you *type* your Win-Test web site password into the IE9 login
box, taking care to get the upper and lowercase letters correct, it works
OK.  Just check the "remember password" box to save yourself from ever
having to type the password again.
