Unable to save username and password in login window.

This just happened this week. I am unable to SAVE the username and
password in XP home dialup window.

Thanks and God bless,

Is the Protected Storage service running? If not enable it.

Just checked, YES, it was running. Thanks. Dave

Okay, thank you, Ramesh. You are a blessing. I will print out and
execute your instructions and report back exactly what happens (it will
be fixed, of course).

Okay...executed all the instructions and here is what happened.

At step 8, I clicked APPLY and after awhile, it reported that I would
not be allowed to do that.

Continued without the step being completed, and at step 10, deletintg
the subkey folder, again, I was not allowed to delete it.

(Must be the devil).

Any thoughts, Ramesh?

Again, be blessed.

Dave, Does it happen to all the users on the computer?
If it happens to a single user, try creating a new user and copy the current
user data to the new profile:

As said earlier, creating a new user profile and copying the data to that,
should solve the problem. A final option is repair installation:
