Autocomplete not functioning...

[Stewart]

I also posted this under "General".

After reinstalling XP and installing all applicable
service packs and patches, autocomplete does not function
in IE. I am posting this under XP because I am also
having problems with the remember password option in the
POP3 setup in Outlook so I think this is a general XP
issue rather than being isolated to IE.

Here is what I have tried:

1. Verified autocomplete settings in IE GUI.
2. Verified auyocomplete settings in registry.
3. Disabled and reenabled settings.
4. Ran all steps outlined in KB # 306895.

The only step that resolved the issue was creating a new
user. The KB article referenced above suggests copying
the profile from the new user to the existing user if
this resolved the problem. However, I do not want to
lose the other settings the current account has.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The above also applies to Internet Explorer and other applications that use
the Protected Storage System Provider registry key to store passwords.
