Help! Whenever I'm entering passwords I always check the
box "Remember my password..." However, the very next
time I attempt to sign back on, the info is always
blank. I've been told there's a patch for this problem,
but can't locate it.

Can anyone help me? It's a real pain re-typing this info
every time.

Thanks so much!

Outlook Express keeps prompting for your password - Fix

This fix also applies to Outlook, other programs that store passwords=20
in the Protected Storage System Provider sub-branch of the Registry.=20
It also corrects some issues with Internet Explorer and AutoComplete.

Also, XP will not store passwords and such if you are logged on as Owner.
You must be an administrator-user.
