I'm assuming you're using NT Server w/IIS? If so, create a folder under your www root folder, open
IIS Manager, find the new folder, properties, security, and uncheck 'Allow anonymous access'.

From that point, anytime you reference any URL inside that folder will cause IE/NS to launch the
userid/password box. The credentials are validated based on Local NT usernames on the IIS server
that have access to that folder.

So your link from your login link would be 'http://myserver/newfolder/welcome.html'

Assuming now that newfolder does not have anonymous access, a login box will appear
before the user is allowed access to anything in that folder.
