Default How do I get Outlook 2007 to retain my password?

Your ISP is whom?

The problem is even worse in Windows Mail... it doesn't save either my

user
name or my password.

I'm able to get my email via Outlook 2007 - the problem is Outlook does

not
save the password, even with "retain password" selected. I have to type my
password in for each of my email accounts EVERY time I open Outlook. The
problem has been identified in KB article 290684, but the article fails to
give a Vista solution. It stops at XP. I tried the XP solution, but it

Vista
won't allow editing of the registry key identified in the article. At this
point, I'm just looking for a fix from Microsoft, or a work around from an
Outlook community member.

me.

OL2002 is not fully compatibal with Vista
Try creating a new profile, with new data file, & add your accounts

news Upgraded to Windows Vista while Office XP was installed, ran into

problem
with Outlook not retaining my email passwords for my POP3

accounts.

***I upgraded specifically to Office 2007 to resolve and the

problem
still
exists!***

Found KB article that acknowledges the issue and attributes it to

the
Protected Storage System Provider subkey in the Windows Registry

but
the
KB
article here does not address how to correct in Vista:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290684

I've tried to see if the XP process would work, and it doesn't -

get
errors
when trying to delete the subkey. Can ANYONE help me with this

annoying
problem?
