pwl files

[rich_jack]

Hi all

Got a strange password problem on my windows xp pro os
and was wondering if anybody has come accross it before
or can help.

My pc never seems to remember any passwords that I have
entered and asked to save on all web sites that I have to
sign into

I have searched my hard drive for *.pwl to find the
password files but comes back with no matches, cant work
out how my pc has not created a pwl file when I have
asked it to save my password

any ideas?

cheers
rich

XP doesn't use pwl files - passwords are hidden & encrypted.

Have a look in Tools > Internet options > Content tab. Click AutoComplete
and check that Use passwords... & Prompt me to save... are both enabled.
