Re: Autocomplete Problem

Hi Bob :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

AutoComplete Does Not Save Username and Password
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q306895

also..

Clearing all passwords should work to reset the "Save Password" option for
that site.
IE> Tools> Options> Content> Autocomplete> Clear Passwords.
Protected Storage PassView from
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pspv.html
will help you recover other cached passwords *before* you clear all passwords.

Have you tried turning AutoComplete off, restarting, turning it back on?

Next, you may have a damaged registry key.
Try this:
With no programs open,
Run REGEDIT and make your way to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
 Software
   Microsoft Internet Explorer
     IntelliForms
      SPW
Create a System Restore point or export that key (Registry> Export- just in
case you wish to undo the change) then delete it- just the SPW key.
Restart the computer.

Hope this helps.

IE 6 on my desktop PC does not remember my userid and password for
Ameritrade.  I'd really like to make this work because I access this
site several times a day and both the id and psw are long strings.
This worked several months ago, perhaps before I upgraded to SP2.

I deleted cookies and files, cleared history, cleared forms and
passwords, unchecked all four autocomplete boxes, and rebooted.  Then
I re-checked all four autocomplete boxes and rebooted again.  I went
to Ameritrade, logged in, out, and in again but IE still does not fill
in the userid and psw fields.  I also deleted the protected storage
system branch from the registry.

Autocomplete for this site works from my laptop.  Is there a way to
copy over the relevant information?
