user names and passwords autocomplete policy

[Jim Budler]

I installed a trial of a security application on a
Windows XP Home. One of the things it seems to have done
is change a Policy so that the autocomplet options for
User Names and Passwords are greyed out and cannot be
selected.

Everything I can find in the knowledge base that seems
related only works for WindowsXP Professional.

How can I restore access to this autocomplete feature.

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.
