Remembering Passwords - Problem

[dryfly]

Hello all! I'm having a real problem with my ie browser and my outlook express mail program. No matter what I do, I can not get either of these programs to save my passwords. I even get the little window coming up to ask me if I want to save the password, I answer yes... but when I return to the same page, the password has to be re-entered.

Please help me if you can (sounds like a beatles song!) I'm feelin' down. I'm going to tear out my hair and toss my computer out the window in a minute.

Thanking you in advance for any help.

PS. I think this must be something simple, but I just can't figure it out.

I don't get a popup with Outlook Express. All I can suggest is that you check the Tools/Accounts/Properties/Servers screen, and make sure you have entered a password and checked the remember box. The log on using select password authentication should not have a check.

I wonder...what is the speed of gravity?

Speedy, ya, I tried that. When I enter the password and then check the "remember" box everything seems OK. But when I come back later the password is not there. Very strange.

THanks for the thought.

OK, a workaround - not ideal but DOES work, is to go to control panel and create a USER, reboot and logon as this user, you should then find the passwords are once again saved, only snag is, you may get the dum windows logon box every boot.
