PSS (Protected Storage Service) deals with passwords, 'subscriptions' in IE
/and/ AutoComplete, Sharon.

When using sysprep.exe, passwords cannot be saved
<quote>
Since the following functionality also uses Protected Storage Service, they
may not work as expected:
    -Password save in Internet Explorer
    -AutoComplete in Internet Explorer
    -Subscription in Internet Explorer
