I have upgraded my workstation and have copied my profile but I am unable to find the different passwords used to access different websites on my old workstation to import to the new one. Does anyone know where these passwords are stored or how I can export them to the new workstation?

this should help some...
To backup the AutoComplete password key, follow these directions:

Left-click on the Start menu and then Run or press and release the Windows button + R.

Type "regedit" (without quotes) and hit enter.

Single-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder to expand its contents.

Single-click the Software folder to expand its contents.

Single-click the Microsoft folder to expand its contents.

Single-click the Internet Explorer to expand its contents.

Single-click the IntelliForms folder to expand its contents.

Single-click the SPW folder. You should see an encrypted list of registry entries in the right-window pane.

With the SPW folder selected, go to the Registry menu and select Export Registry file.

Name the file accordingly and remember where you save it.

Include this file when you backup your data

Here are a couple more things:
The entire reg key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\IntelliForms\SPW

Then, to add the exported info back into your new install do this:
Find the AutoComplete registry key from the location where you saved all of your backup data.

Copy this file to your desktop.

Locate the file on your desktop and double-click it.

A dialog box will appear asking if you'd like to save the file to your registry.

Click OK.

Ok, that should do it...
