Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro from WIN98SE. Under Win98SE I used
to be able to save the password to my password list when visiting a site
that needed Windows password authentication. Under Windows XP Pro I have to
re-input the password everytime I visit a password-protected site even
though the dialogo box that controls the user name and password input has a
checkbox that states do you want ot save this password. The checkbox to save
the password clearly does not work. Is there a setting in IE6 or XP pro that
I need to change to enable my system to remember key passwords so that I
don't have to constantly re-input them? Thanks for your help. Sincerely,
David
 
Have a look under Internet Options -> Content -> Auto-Complete -> User Names
& Password Box (ticked)
 
Hi Fraser,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, User Names and Passwords on Forms is
already ticked under autocomplete (the subsidiary checkbox Prompt to save
passwords is unticked). Everytime I visit a website that uses Windows
password authentication I have to reinput my password even though
autocomplete remembers my user name setting. Any further ideas? Thanks,
David
