"Manage My Network Passwords" in XP sp2

[Guest]

I read that I can add accounts and passwords to automatically access
resources available in my workgroup, e.g. printing and shares. However, when
I go to user accounts and select "Manager My Network Passwords" there is no
way to add an account or password - it is blank with no add button.

Any ideas why this is disabled?

Thank You,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Which edition of Windows XP are you using? IIRC, the "Add" button will be missing if you're using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. And in XP Professional, the dialog may be empty if the DisableDomainCreds security policy is enabled.

Thanks for the reply. It is XP Pro. I checked all areas of the registry for
this key and they all are set as "disable" (0).

Oooops. I can't keep track of what OS I am using. I am using Media Center on
this machine. Are you saying this is not offered in Media Center edition?
Thanks, Dave

Yes, I think so. This functionality may have been removed in MCE 2005. You may check with the MCE newsgroups for more accurate info on this matter.

Thank you Ramesh. I'll look at it from that angle. I never considered it
could be a limitation of MCE. Thanks, Dave
