Thank you very much, that worked. Upgraded to 2.5 stable 10 and used htpasswd, works like a charm. Can anyone recommend a good SquidNT user monitoring tool? (How long a user is online, where they have been, that kind of stuff.)

It works fine with no authentication. You are lucky: STABLE3 is very old, and there are some bugs that can make this Squid build crash on Windows 2003. Please upgrade to STABLE9 or the latest STABLE10. >I want to use the >ncsa_auth.exe authentication helper that came with squid, but have not been >successful.

You can find a Window build of NCSA tools in the Squid for Windows download page. http://www.acmeconsulting.it/SquidNT.html >Conf.cmd > >echo auth_param basic program D:/Squid/libexec/ncsa_auth.exe >D:/Squid/pwd/password.txt >> %CONFFILE% Correct. You can run ncsa_auth.exe from Windows command line and check if works.
