Hi all. I realize you are very busy, but I hope you
don't mind if I pick your brains for a moment. I recently purchased a new
dell with a windows xp home operating system. My former computer, had a
windows 98 second edition operating system. When I would attempt to access
my school's e-mail account from home (webmail.centennialsd.org) I would get
the pop up box with three separate lines: user name, password, and domain.
There was also the option to check remember password, so I wouldn't have to
enter it each time.
In Windows XP home, there are only two lines, user name and password. I
remembered to enter my domain\username as my username from my school, and my
password was as usual. However there was no check box to remember my
password. There was a drop down arrow by the user name box, but even after I
logged on successfully, the drop down box did not remember my user name or
password. There was a littl grayed out box with three dots in it next to the
drop down arrow, but it never became active. Is this due to a change in
Windows XP versus Windows 98, or is there a security setting or something in
Windows XP that I can change so I can story this information. Typing
domain\username and my password each time to check is a pain.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
