Basic Authentication IIS, change look of login popup

I have intranet website hosted on IIS. It has some ASP .NET pages... For that website, I have set "Basic Authentication" in IIS to authenticate the users...
So when i open that website, it prompts for userid/password and if user puts in windows login-password, it lets user to view the webpage...
My question is, is it possible to change the look and feel of that popup/dialogbox of userid/password prompt?
I am using Internet Explorer...
thanks so much

Normally no. But where there is a will there is a way. What you need to do is to design your own custom login form and then use code to authenticate the user against the AD or your server.

You can read the following two articles in the same order as they are given and let me know if you still has a doubt.
