Remember Password Fails

[Guest]

In Outlook 2000, running on a new computer with XP Home, I cannot get Outlook
to remember my password. Each time I close Outlook and reopen it, it asks me
again for the password in spite of the fact that I clicked "remember
password".

I have looked at all the MS KB and cannot find a fix that works.

Another hint, the same thing happens on a web mail server using IE (Yahoo).

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.

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