I beleve this is a WindowsXP post and not Outlook. 50-50 chance of getting
my hand slapped, but here goes:
Recently, I helped someone out and rebuilt a fairly new Compaq with XP Home
and XP Office Professional that had been hit with a virus and had extensive
system file damage that would not repair properly. The build went well and
all updates from both Windows and Office were installed.
This user has a DSL broadband connection. His email account is POP3 and
SMTP based.
The problem is that the email password does not stay put for the account in
Outlook Client even though "save this password" is checked. One must "Edit"
the account, enter the password, close and all works fine, until Outlook is
closed and opened again. Once Outlook client is closed and opened again,
the password must be entered every time as it will not "stay".
I believe that the saving of passwords if a function of "Auto Complete". I
remember in the past seeing a window titled Auto Complete, asking if a
password, about to entered should be saved. Also in the window was a check
box with something to the effect of: "don't save passwords". I believe
this is a Windows function and most likely a registry setting, however I
can't seem to find it.
The last and only thing I can see to do is uninstall and re-install Outlook
client, however, if this is in fact a Windows function, I am wasting my time
and will be back to square one.
My question is; Is Auto Complete a WindowsXP function or is this native to
each MS application such as Outlook? Where can it be edited in the registry
and how?
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to provide an answer.
