Default Not retaining password

We'll mine does. Is that why it's not remembering my passwords?


There are two hidden paths in Windows 2000 and Windows XP; one is
"%UserProfile%\Local Settings" (which also has an "Application Data" folder
beneath it) and "%UserProfile%\Application Data". This latter is what you
should find for the definition of the AppData environment variable and the
AppData key in the registry. Windows Vista has analogous paths of
"%UserProfile%\AppData\Local" and "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming". The
latter is AppData and the former has a new environment variable of
LocalAppData.

Since you have Windows XP, the User Shell Folders key for AppData should
contain "%UserProfile%\Application Data", the key for Local Settings should
contain "%UserProfile%\Local Settings". There should also be a key named
"Local AppData" and its value should be "%UserProfile%\Local
Settings\Application Data". You'll also find these values in the "Shell
Folders" key that's several keys above the User Shell Folders key in the
left-hand pane of regedit.
