Remember Network Password doesn't work

[Hin]

Hi

I'm having problem with one of my office computer running Windows XP
Pro. It seems like it can not remember any network passwords to my
LAN computers. I have tried the following:

- checked the checkbox of "Remember Network Password" when trying to
map a network drive.

- Make sure the "Security Accounts Manager" service is started under
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

- Make sure "Network Access: Do not allow storage of credentials or
..NET Passports for network authentication" is disabled under Start >
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy >
Security Setting > Local Policies > Security Options

- Added the password to the "Manage My Network Password" under Control
Panel > User Accounts > Under the Related Task


I tried all these steps and the passwords still disapper after I
rebooted the machine. I ended up typing my user name & password each
time at the username / password prompt for the remote computer.


How can I make Windows XP remember the passwords?

Thanks!

This fix applies to Outlook and other programs that store passwords
in the Protected Storage System Provider sub-branch of the Registry.
It also corrects some issues with Internet Explorer and Autocomplete.

Hi Carey,

Thanks for replying back. I don't use Outlook, I am just having
problem with "Remember Network Password" for connecting my local
computers that is on a LAN. However, I will try your suggestions and
see if that will work.


Thanks

Hi,

I am hope somebody can help me with this problem. I'm still having
the same problem and I can't seem to find a solution for it. When I
click on the "Remember Network Password" on mapping a network drive,
it doesn'tseem to remember the password after I rebooted the machine.

I've tried the following:

1) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q264672

2) checked the checkbox of "Remember Network Password" when trying to
map a network drive.
3)- Make sure the "Security Accounts Manager" service is started under
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

4) - Make sure "Network Access: Do not allow storage of credentials
or .NET Passports for network authentication" is disabled under Start
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy >
Security Setting > Local Policies > Security Options

5)- Added the password to the "Manage My Network Password" under
Control Panel > User Accounts > Under the Related Task
it still doesn't work. Also I'm not using Outlook, just plain old
mapping network drives.

Help!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
H.
