Recently I have spoke with several people who cannot get
I.E. to bring a saved password for there webmail accounts
back to the form box. All the settings in the content tab
for auto complete.
 
Ok, what gives this feature just started working out of
the blue on all the machines that I was refering to. No
changes just started working. Question Is the list of
passwords that correlate to a given user name stored at MS?
Hope not, but it seemed global when it was fixed.

No, it's stored in the Registry.
