question about changing Apache "Authorized Required" page to other page

[Joe Cho]

Thank so much,
You are absolutely right.
One of my computer using Mozilla displayed the right page that is supposed
to be.
I edited the httpd.conf file and restarted,
It works fine as I expected.

And one computer using Windoze 2K, Internet explore browser is having
problem. Maybe http://search.lycos.com/ search engine is hidden somewhere in
the computer.
So that whatever I asked and doesn't exist then, it display this weird web
page. I guess.

Last thing I need to take care of is that I need to remove this evil stuff.

Thanks again,

Joe Cho

Not sure what your problem is. It looks more like a browser/spelling
issue than a server issue. I went to jcho.net and punched in an
non-existing page and got the stock apache error document. As the link 
says, you can use any local page as the 404 not found error page. You
have to define it in your httpd.conf file though and restart Apache or
force Apache to reread the config file.
