Don't know if it's possible, but if it is, I'm sure the folks in
m.p.windows.inetexplorer.ie6 will know it.

Note - users need to know their passwords and not rely on password caching
to save them.

Sorry I am so dense but I looked at all of the topics under your name and
could not find an answer. How do I copy the already saved passwords on his
Windows 200 machine to his new Windows XP machine. Thanks a bunch

I believe they are located in the user profile. If you simply upgraded that
users computer from W2K to XP Pro [instead of a new install] the old
settings should be intact. There may be a way to copy the old profile, or
parts of it, to the new computer. I don't know the best way for that and you
may want to post in the win2000.setup_deployment newsgroup for more help on
how to proceed with that. --- Steve
