> Thanks Robear Dyer , but we tried that. I work at a University and we have monthly meetings where 40 members log into a web site. We track each user and log which documents they review. When they were running Windows 2000, the username, password login screen saved the password. When we all switched to XP, we all lost the "remember the password" feature.

We have a lot of XP machines, many right out of the box and none of them can
keep the password on a non-ssl site. Email works without a problem, but this
is probably because it is an SSL site.

One option was to make the web site a trusted site, passwords would not be
needed in this case. But since members could use each other's compute, we
lost the ability to know who actually loged in and read the documents on the
site. The other option was to make all servers, ssl servers. When found that
when SSL was installed and used, the "remember the password" feature
returned.

But thank you for reviewing.
