After setting up a mail account in Outlook Express 6 and
checking the remember password box, the password is not
remembered. Is this the fault of Outlook Express 6 or is
it the fault of Windows XP Home? I have OLE6 on a machine
with Win ME and have no problem at all. If there is a
solution please contact me.
Thanks
 
Smar1,

First, make sure that "Protected Storage" service is running. Click Start / Run / Services.msc
If it is already ON, try this:
