Which brings up a question I have.... I have noticed that there are
some web sites that I visit that require a UN/PW for access but I am
not given the option for XP to remember what I enter into those fields
for those specific web sites while XP gives me the option to remember
what I enter for other web sites.

Is there some HTML code that some sites use that tells XP to not ask
the user if they want their username/password for that specific site
remembered thus making the user have to type it all in each and every
time they visit those specific sites?

BTW, I am not talking about remembering via cookies here but
remembering as per that info being put into the cryptic area in the
registry as you were discussing.

Thanks
Ed
