I have installed Beta2 of Internet Explorer on my machine and have come
across an issue with Outlook Express. I use Outlook Express as a fat
client for my Hotmail account. After installing IE7 everytime I access
my
mail in Outlook Express or switch between folders (in Outlook Express) I
am prompted for credentials. When I am prompted, I simply click OK
becuase my username and password is correct on the auth window. I HAVE
selected to remember my password in OE. I believe that this is an IE7
related issue becuase I did not have this problem before I installed the
product.

Thanks in advance.
