When using a URL it always asks for a username and password

Question

I’ve just started using the Windows version of OracleXE.exe with Apex3.1 and I would like to create a menu web-page holding a list of URL’s that can be configured by inserting records into a simple table. I am having problems with multiple authentication user-name and password. I can read the table and create a URL within a web-page swapping the text “#SESSION#” with the &Session.
But each time I open a new application within the same schema I get the login page (when that user has already connected with their password).
Test data:
create table x_url_table(url varchar2(256),display_text varchar2(32));
insert into x_url_table values ('http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=106:1:#SESSION#:::','query country details');
insert into x_url_table values ('http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=108:2:#SESSION#:::','simple select as a test ');
From the Application Builder page I choose:
"Create" -> "Create Application" -> “add Page" [I entered the table name x_url_table[and implementation set to classic]] -> “Next” [no tabs] -> “Next” [no for shared components] -> “Next” [Application Express for Authentication] -> “Next” -> “Create”
When I press the run-page-icon it displays the URL like below(if I click-it it does not open webpage):
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=106:1:#SESSION#:::     query country details
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=108:2:#SESSION#:::     simple
I then tried “edit-page”-> “edit-region” -> “region source” I swapped the SQL for this:
SELECT
replace(a.url ,'#SESSION#','&SESSION.') as url
, a.display_text
FROM x_url_table a
Plus I then added a link “edit-page”-> “edit-region”-> clicked the tab “Report Attributes”->clicked the “add column link”
Scroll down to “column link”
“Link Text” I set to #DISPLAY_TEXT#
“Target” choose the L.O.V option “URL”
“URL” I set to #URL#
Push apply button
Press the run-page icon it displays everything correctly (see below) but when I click-the-URL it asks me again for the login screen with a user/password request.
Can this be bypassed?
As, I am already connected to the schema using the same username and password!
How do I allow my current session to automatically log me in to a different page?
link      Url Display Text
query country details http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=106:1:1331572188999480:::     query country details
simple select as a test http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=108:2:1331572188999480:::     simple select as a test
so what do I need to do login just once!
