I browse several sites that need a login name and password,[like this site], and at one time XP would remember that info, but something changed. Could somebody suggest where I change this back...ThanXXX

1. Run Internet Explorer and select Internet Options from the Tools menu.

2. Click the Content tab.

3. Click AutoComplete...

4. Make sure the first three check boxes are all ticked. (You may want to have the last one unchecked.)

5. Click OK twice.

That's it! Try logging into a website (e.g. www.hotmail.com), close the window and see if it remembers it now.

I hope this helps,

James
