Outlook express passwords, autocomplete

[Simon]

Hi

I am running windows xp home edition,i have entered my
isp password into outlook express and checked the :save
password" box, however when I close OE, the passwors are
not there when I reopen it, even though the box is still
checked.

Also can anybody tell me how to turn on autocomplete.

Thanks in advance

Simon

I'm not sure of this because it has been a while but it seems I had to add
an entry to IE/Tools/Internet Options/Privacy/Edit/Allow for one of the
following:
Hotmail.Com, Microsoft.Com, MSN.Com, Passport.Com, or Passport.Net

I just wanted to add my thanks. I was originally looking in the IE6 NG's and
if I saw one more, "Check the Autocomplete box", my head was going to
explode! Thanks! Wayne
