Is there some way to FORCE Msie to remember passwords?

[P. Burrows]

Some websites, like GMail, try to force the browser (like MSIE) to not
remember the password. (It does this by setting autocomplete="off")

Is there someway to override this so MSIE WILL remember it anyway?

(Any solutions appreciated, including deletion of files, registery hacks
etc - except use another browser ;-)

No, but there are other solutions, like a script using a 'sendkeys' function. Put the focus in the GMail password box, and click a
shortcut in QuickLaunch for this script file.
--getmail.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell')
shell.appactivate "<IE browser title goes here, or at least the first word of the title>"
shell.sendkeys "12345678"
shell.sendkeys "[ENTER]"
--end file--

Interesting. It didn't work, until I added {tab} to the first one -
otherwise it just ended up in the same box.

Pity about MSIE, apparently firefox and opera can do it. And there is a
bookmarklet to mozilla.

Suggestions have been to find the relevant MSIE dll and hex edit the
autocomplete word out, or set up a proxy. But I guess this is easier,
if less secure than if MSIE had remembered it.

But thanks
