Could be. I am running a number of security apps, 3 of which are set on
auto-detect. I also have Windows Firewall working and have a hardware
firewall in place. I have tried to save user names and passwords with
everything off (except for Windows Defender and the hardware firewall)
without luck. If indeed it is one of these, does anyone know of any way to
work around them? Can it really be that there are options to allow these
cookies in Windows, but that those options will only actually work when the
machine is left completely unprotected?

You need to check the config (preferences) of each program to see what
they do.

You can run FireFox or Opera, as an option -

My machine refuses to save log in and password information for a number of

option. I have specifically allowed cookies for the sites in IE. I have
selected the option to "remember me on this computer" (or its alternatives)
on the sites themselves. I have even tried logging on to those sites with
all my security apps and my Windows firewall disabled. All to no avail. I
return to the sites and it is as though I am a first time user and have done
none of the above. What am I overlooking? This is just a convenience issue,
but a very annoying one. Any help out there?

First guess is your running a malware detection program, and one of
it's duties is to clear the cookies.
