Remember name & password not working??

Jonathan, do you know if these steps will resolve .NET Passports not saving
when browsing the web? Many .NET Passport-enabled sites I go to prompt me
for my password every time I visit them--even though I select 'Save my
password'.

Greetings Chester,

First, run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...lenetcreds.reg

Then, if you're using Windows Messenger, reinstall it, close down
Messenger (right click the
messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close).
Then click the start
button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Then click OK. Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed
instructions and
screenshots, go to,
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7
Reboot, say "Yes" to remove your preferences, then reinstall from:
http://messenger.msn.com/download/download.asp?client=0

If after the reboot it still doesn't work, try clearing your Passport
accounts in Windows XP.
Click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User
Accounts in the
Control Panel. Select the currently logged in Windows XP account, and
then on the left side
of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'.
Remove everything
that has is denoted by (Passport) -- including Passport.Net\*, by using
the 'Remove' button.

Then try saving your password Passport again.

I can't sign in automatically. I've told it again and again to
remember my name and password without any luck.
What do you have to do to get that feature to function?

Another user has signed in from my user to check their account, would
that
make a difference?

Hi Chris,

It may (although reinstalling Messenger can be taken out for that).
