XP Password saver 1

[Present]

How do I make XP remember my passwords? I have a dual boot system, in one XP rememberd my passes fine in the other it doesn't. In both I have 'login auto with password' selected in IE security options. What's going on?

Cheers!

IE, Tools, Internet Options, Content, Auto Complete. You want to enable usernames and passwords on forms, and have it prompt to save passwords.

How about this.

Is this service running?

"Protected Storage.

Allows for the saving of local passwords or even web sites information (AutoComplete). This service is set to Automatic by default. Due to security reasons, I recommend leaving this “feature” disabled to make things all that much more difficult to steal vital information if you do not “save” it. On the other hand, you may need this service to manage private keys for encryption purposes. If so, leave this service on automatic to ensure the “higher” security settings you choose work. If you disable this service, you will no longer have any of your passwords saved, no matter how many times you click the box. If you enjoy having your passwords saved in applications like Outlook or Dial up networking or you are connecting to the internet via a domain controller/server that requires authentication, set this service to Automatic."
