My collegue uses Internet Explorer 6. Whenever she gets to a password-protected section of a website, she enters her login and password into the pop-up "Conect to www......" dialogue box and always checks "Remember my password".

However the next time she goes to the same site (or even goes to a different webpage within the same protected site), the dialogue box pops up again, again prompting for the username and password.

Does anyone know what would be causing IE to not remember passwords like this?

Thanks guys - yes Mike, we also use Firefox and it is excellent, but in our business we also need to test website functionality on IE.

Veula - thanks, this worked!

I'm not young enough to know everything.
