I am running Win XP Pro with service pack 1 and use Outlook Express as my EMAIL system. I have designated that Outlook Express remember my password when I log on but it doesn’t, I have to enter it every time. Microsoft has a patch that supposedly fixes this problem as follows but it does not work. Any suggestions on how to fix will be appreciated.
Suposed fix that doesn’t work:
To Save Registry Start, Run regedt32, Locate Reg. Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
-On File Menu:
-Export
-File Name
-Save In
-Save
-Exit
To Restore:
-Start
-Run regedt32
-Open
-ok
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
-Edit Permissions
-for current user(administrator), make sure that READ and FULL CONTROL are both set to ALLOW
-Advanced make sure that currently logged on user has FULL CONTROL and THIS KEY AND SUBKEYS under PERMISSIONS are listed in the APPLY columns
-Click to select Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects in box.
-Apply and Yes
ok and ok
-Double-click the Protected Storage System Provider key to expand
-click the subkey below it
-click DELETE on the Edit menu and then YES.
-click EXIT
-re-start the computer.
This does not work! I still have to enter my password each time when I access Outlook Express. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Sid Kraft.
