View Full Version : More windows crap

does anyone know why I can't work through my OE accounts without double
inputting my passwords for every user / identity in the OE that comes with
XP?

Also I can't seem switch identities or some other things without re-entering
all my information, even thoug I have checked everywhere to save passwords
etc etc.

I hate windows. 3.0, 3.1, 98SE, ME and now XP, they all seem to suck just
a little bit more than the last one. It's like gates builds the problems and
frustrations in as some sort of multi-level game.

thanks,
tHAT

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

Buy a Mac and you won't have to deal with Windows.

Buy a Mac and you won't find any software for it.
