Default Outlook 2002 and Vista

Outlook 2002 will NOT remember passwords when ran under Windows Vista.
Outlook 2002 was coded to use pstore (protected storage system) in the
registry to cache the login credentials for the e-mail accounts
defined in Outlook; see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb432403.aspx. pstore is no
longer available under Windows Vista. The registry keys are still
there but are read-only so Outlook cannot record your login
credentials into those registry keys but cannot update them.


I wonder if one could modify the protection on those keys to make them
writable.
