Hi

I'm having problem with one of my office computer running Windows XP
Pro. It seems like it can not remember any network passwords to my
LAN computers. I have tried the following:

- checked the checkbox of "Remember Network Password" when trying to
map a network drive.

- Make sure the "Security Accounts Manager" service is started under
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

- Make sure "Network Access: Do not allow storage of credentials or
.NET Passports for network authentication" is disabled under Start >
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy >
Security Setting > Local Policies > Security Options

- Added the password to the "Manage My Network Password" under Control
Panel > User Accounts > Under the Related Task

I tried all these steps and the passwords still disapper after I
rebooted the machine. I ended up typing my user name & password each
time at the username / password prompt for the remote computer.

How can I make Windows XP remember the passwords?

Thanks!
