Re: Saving passwords

Since I have cookies approved for the specific sites in question (both in IE
and my Windows user account), and since the preferences in each of my
security utilities is set to notify me if anything is being blocked, and
since I am not getting any such notifications, it is hard to see one them as
being the issue, although there is obviously a conflict somewhere and I
suppose security remains a suspect. I'm not willing to give up security for
the convenience, of course, but if anyone could point me to a setting that
I'm overlooking it would be appreciated. Your comment regarding using
Firefox or Opera is interesting, though. It seems to suggest that the
difficulty I am having is a known issue in IE and that it is NOT an issue in
those other two. Is such the case?

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

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.
