hi,

i have win xp home-edition servicepack2 installed and frontpage 2003
(incl servicepack).

my problem: if i click file > open website (on a webserver). i have to
put in my username and my password. under the password-field there is
in win2000 a checkbox called "save password", that i don't need to
type in the password again if i enter the website.

in win2000 there is a checkbox called "save password". why is it
missing in win xp home?? how can i get the checkbox there? shold i
edit sth in the registry or is there another possibility??

please help me! thank you!

i hope, you've understood me. i'm german and tried to explain my
probelm in english ;-)

hallo,

ich habe win xp home und frontpage 2003 (jeweils ist das servicepack
installiert).

mein problem: wenn ich auf datei > website öffnen klicke und ich eine
website auf einem www-server öffnen möchte, muss ich benutzername und
passwort eingeben. unter windows 2000 gab es die checkbox "kennwort
speichern", die unter windows xp nicht angezeigt wird.

warum fehlt diese checkbox in win xp home?? kann ich sie irgendwie
herbekommen z.b. durch eine änderung in der registry?? oder gibt es
eine andere möglichkeit??

bitte helft mir! danke!!!

Passwords used by FP are "stored" using IE
In IE use Tools > Internet Options > Security
Click on 'Trusted' and on 'Custom Level'
Make sure the selection at the bottom is set to:
'Automatic logon with current username and password' and click OK
Click on 'Sites' and add your site URL in the 'Add this Web Site to the Zone', and OK, OK
- note: you may have to unselect the option: Require server verification (https)... to add your site

In Internet Explorer:
Tools->Content Tab
Click Auto-Complete button
Check the boxes: "Usernames and passwords on forms"
and "Prompt me to save passwords"

Note that I had the same problem with XP Home, and the only solution I
found was an upgrade to XP Pro.
 
FYI: I never had any problems with login info being saved under Windows XP Home.
