XP - how to get it to remember passwords.
When my boss bought the computer I use, he had the maker of it set it to where it will NOT remember any passwords. We are using XP, and now it is just me in the office and he knows the passwords I use for anything to do with the office. How can I get XP to now remember the passwords so I don't have to retype them every time? What could the "computer guy" have set to tell this computer to NEVER remember a password. This has been further complicated since we have had to change IPS (forced by buyout of ISP), and I get a window popping up all the time for me to retype my password, since it won't remembe the passwords for the new ISP. Clicking on the "Remember password box" does nothing. Any help???1 person needs an answerI do too

HiCheck few settings.Firstly Go to IE. Click on Tools-> Internet Options -> In General Tab make sure "Delete browsing history on exit" is UNckecked.Now Go to Internet Options->Content Tab. Click on Settings for Auto Complete Section.There at very bottom check the box under Use Auto Complete for "User names and passwords on the forms" & "Ask me before saving passwords".If they are already checked Uncheck them first click ok. And now reopen it and check both the options "User names and passwords on the forms" & "Ask me before saving passwords".let me know if that helped.ThanksDineshRegards Dinesh
