I can't get my Auto-complete to save anything from
screennames,addresses,or passwords. Anywhere I need to
type info in on a website or offline nothing gets stored.
Even after it asks me if I want windows to remember it,
it still fails to remember it. Everything including
Outlook Express I have to retype in the info just to read
mail including windows messenger and msn messengers. Its
getting old... having to retype this crap everytime over
and over again... I have down everything I can come up
with except throw the computer in the trash... It's a new
computer with all the updates and auto-complete is turned
on... in every area that I know of... even in the command
prompt folder. Why won't it work?

OLEXP: Your Outlook Express Password Is Not Retained in Windows 2000 or XP

OL2000: (IMO) Your Password Is Not Retained in Windows 2000 or Windows XP

The above also applies to Internet Explorer and other applications that use
the Protected Storage System Provider registry key to store passwords.
