Can't remember password in Outlook Express / MSN Explorer

M

Miguel

Hi.

OS: Windows XP Pro.

Outlook Express & MSN Explorer will not keep passwords
even though the 'Remember password' checkbox is checked.

Outlook Express will remember mail account passwords only
during the same session.

Any suggestions?

TIA.

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