When the Connection screen for Microsoft Outlook pops up for me to sign on to my Exchange Server, I enter the domain\logonID in the top field, then the password in the lower field. This works, but for other in the office, the domain\loginID will remain there for the next time they logout and have to log back in. Mine clears itsself and I have to enter it eveytime. I think its because of some "cleanup" software I installed as a trial, then uninstalled. Part of what the software did was clear all traces of the Login fields (even on the Network Login) and I have to re-enter that information each time as well. I think the uninstall did not clear something in the register, but I'm not technical enough to know. Can anyone help me get back the feature where the Signon fields will still be there on subsequent Signons? THANKS
 
There is a "Manage Passwords" section obtained via typing Control Userpasswords2 in the Start Run box. In the resulting window you will get to it via the Advanced tab.

See if there is anything mentioned in "Manage Passwords"?

Another thing you can look at is this -

306541 - HOW TO: Manage Stored User Names and Passwords on a Computer That Is Not in a Domain in Windows XP

Behavior of stored user names and passwords


"Note - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition lacks the Stored User Names and Passwords feature for network share connections. Windows XP Home Edition stores only Remote Access Services/Virtual Private Networking and Microsoft .NET Passport credentials."

Share-level mapped network drives are not connected after you restart your computer

Saved passwords in Internet Explorer, go to Tools/ Internet Options/ Content tab/ Autocomplete button, and have a look around there.
