Windows was diong fine. It was remembering all of the passwords i
wanted it to without a problem. I recently applied some tweaks i found
on various websites and am happy with them.

EXCEPT...

Windows autocomplete will no longer remember my passowrds. It will
offer to store them every single time i enter them. Occassionally it'll
work for a little while but after a restart none of them survive.

I really need some help correcting this.

Thanks

This fix applies to Outlook and other programs that store passwords
in the Protected Storage System Provider sub-branch of the Registry.
It also corrects some issues with Internet Explorer and Autocomplete.
