Outlook express 6

[Mike Cates]

I have Outlook Express 6 that I use for my email. I
cannot get it to remember my password where everytime
that I open up Outlook Express I do not have to put the
password in. Can somebody tell me how to correct the
problem.

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.
