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.
