I'm running Vista x86 Build 5384. The PC that I'm using has a wireless
connection to the rest of my network, and this wireless link is encrypted
using WPA-PSK.

However, EVERY time I boot into Vista I have to go into Control Panel,
Networks, choose to JOIN the network, and then type in my encryption jey.

How do I get Vista to remember my encryption key so that I don't have to
re-type it every time I boot?

Thanks,

Fork.

Make sure you're selecting "private network" - as in your home network.
Should work after that.

I also found that going to re-order wireless network (after you have the
network up and running) and double-clicking on the network name, you can get
a dialog (that I have no idea how to get otherwise) where I can select
"Automatically connect..."
