Re: How to add XP Home Remember password option?



Unfortunately cached credential manager in XP Home will not remember
passwords to Domain Resources.

The same thing happens by default on Media Center computers, but this
can be changed. XP Home cannot be changed.

Hi,

Big computer companies still sell desktop and laptop computers with Windows
XP Home to offices, where users suffer from it's missing ability to remember
network passwords. When you try to log into any server or domain there isn't
an option "remember password" as in Windows XP Pro.
That also means if one tries to connect with MSIE Windows XP Home laptop to
office
Sharepoint services, one has to enter the password each time without
remembering option in the "Connect to ..." user name and password dialog
box.

Is there any way to add "remember password" option to Windows XP Home?
Is there any good 3rd party application which might help?

If sellers could point out this missing capability, many users had chosen XP
Pro instead. Unfortunately it has turned out like a secret, which most
salesman haven't ever heard about and users next option is to buy a at least
full Retail XP Pro upgrade, as there isn't any other updates fro XP Home OEM
version.
