Have recently installed Windows XP Prof on a new dell laptop. Windows XP is
not saving usernames and passwords. Any suggestions on what mught be the
problem
 
Not saving them where, in an application or program, internet browser, user profiles, or.....???
 
For example...

I log onto an account on the web. It used to be that the next time I logged
 
Hi

Open Internet Explorer and select Tools/Internet Options/ Content Tab. In the Autocomplete section, click the Settings Button. Place a check mark in the last 2 options there. OK/Apply/OK.
 
OK, I did that. This is really a problem of my co-workers. What he is used to
is logging onto a site and having the username already fully appearing. Now
it seems that the "username" box is blank, however, if you click in or begin
typing the username it autocompletes.

So I think your explanantion answers the question.

Thanks.
 
Different websites have this set up in different ways. The website author can programmatically change the way the login functions. Cookies also play a part in this function. If you have cookies restricted, then this can restrict what information automatically appears when you log in to a website.
