I tried Roady's suggestion of:
browse for C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect

Make a backup of this folder while all other programs are closed and then
delete that folder. See if your passwords are remembered now. ...... but
this did not work.

I also tried to go to regedit, but it would not allow any changes to the
permissions of the key indicated in the file
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290684 ,... another
suggestion that did not work., as i got a message in step 8 when trying to
click yes twice. No changes to that key were allowed.

can anyone else help ?? this is an outrage that no one can solve this
problem.
 
That suggestion is only for Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista.

The issue that you have with Outlook 2002 is a known incompatibility issue
with Outlook 2002 on Windows Vista that 'most likely won't be addressed
since Outlook 2002 is out of mainstream support. (Mainstream support for
Office products ends about 5 years after launch)

Note that as long as you keep Outlook 2002 open it won't prompt you for the
password.
 
Thanks for the information, Roady. That settles it I guess.
