When starting various programs, i get a pop up that asks to save the
programs password in my password list.

this is fine, however they never get saved no matter how many times I
check the box.

Is there some master setting in windows to turn this feature on or off ?

thanks for your help,

Jim
 
This fix applies to Outlook and other programs that store passwords
in the Protected Storage System Provider sub-branch of the Registry.
It also corrects some issues with Internet Explorer and Autocomplete.
