Ever since I've begun running XP, I've noticed that instead of there being ***'s in the password field for any website I go to or just to log onto XP, there have been dots. â— Such as that. I've been looking for the longest time for a way to change it back to *'s and I'm not sure if there is a way, but if someone could tell me how to do this, I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks!

Pick from above.

Is this really a problem?

I believe that the dots are by design in XP. Are you having a problem with
the passwords?
