AutoComplete again :(

[Guest]

Hi,

i'm using "Win XP Tablet PC Ed. 2005 Vers. 2002 SP2".

I've made a fresh installation and then i have cloned it using "Acronis True
Image 9". Then i have installed the clonefile on 5 Tablets of the same model
and i have given every clone a new sid using "Ghostwalker".

So far so good.

I have the following problem. Autocomplete works on the master but it
doesn't work in IE6 on any of the clones. It does work in other applications
except IE6.

The settings are all the same. I say to the checkbox that it shall save the
username and password and it works as long as i do not quit the IE6. If i
quit IE6 it doesn't remember anything.

The Protected Storage Service is enabled on all machines.

I can't delete the Protected Storage System Provider entry within the
registry on all 6 machines.

I have searched within this discussion group, but nothing. Even google of
delfi can't help, ao i haven't found any solution so far. Please help me

so long
Martin Th.

Are you stopping the service and changing the permissions
of the key first?

Thank you for your reply.

No, my fault.

I have created a new user account and i have copied all data from the old to
the new one.

Now autocomplete works, but my boss wants another solution, because we are
runnig a MS SQL Developer Server 2000 and a coldfusion application on each
machine, so we can't really foresee all the effects a new account could have.

I've read somewhere that it could endanger the system stability and
integrity when you delete the Protected Storage System Provider entry.

Does it?

I've read the thread by Bob Simon from 10/23/2005.

It implies that something is wrong with the protected storage.

Right now we are introducing a new system to our salesman. 5 people are
testing the system and have the mentioned problem. When the test is complete
150 people will use the system maybe even more.

I could use pspv.exe to import the needed entries but i would have to type
150 different usernames and their passwords then export each and import them
on every single machine.

No, my fault.

Okay i stopped the service and i have full acces to the key nonetheless i
can't delete they key. I'm doing this on the master machine which works fine
because i don't have a clone at hand.

Please excuse the triple post but i can't edit my posts or haven't figured
out how to do so.

Perhaps it was my speculations you read. <eg>

I don't know and I have been issuing that caveat whenever I mention
deleting the key. My biggest concern was the possibility that somebody
might have encrypted files on a machine and the thought that if the
keys for decrypting them were kept in there some very undesirable
consequences would occur. (E.g., passwords, etc. can be recreated
manually if necessary but trashed files aren't something I want to be
even indirectly responsible for, even though it is ultimately a user's
responsibility to be able to backup and restore the data.)

That concern seems especially relevant when portable computers
such as your Tablets are involved since file encryption is more likely
to be employed for security reasons (e.g. to insure the data against
loss or theft of the machine.) But I still can't find any clear statement
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...all/reskit/en-us/prnb_efs_qutx.asp?frame=true


Other than that major unknown, notice that I found articles written
by MSFT personnel which mentioned the procedure for various
circumstances, before I made my first post about it (with caveats).
So, while the total consequences may be unknown to us they can
at least be assumed to be in general not unsafe.


Since you have a ghosted image won't you be in a good position to test
the idea and its consequences for us anyway? <eg>


You may get a more informed (or perhaps more confident <w>) answer
from a newsgroup specializing in the registry. I'm cross-posting this reply
to one in case somebody there chooses to answer us now.


Good luck

Robert
