Microsoft Front Page password requirement

[vaughnv]

I am a new member and I hope this is the right place for this question. I did not notice any specific forum that looked like it fit...

We have a small home office LAN with 4 computers.

We all work on the same 3 web sites, and when updating any of them from 3 of the computers, the login ID and password are saved so that we don't have to go through the trouble of entering them each time we access the sites.

One of the 4 computers can not access any of the sites without typing the ID and PW in each time.

As you can probably tell from this post, we are not exactly leading edge users... we have tried everything we can find, inlcuding asking for help form some local experts, but to no avail

Any suggestions for ways to address this problem woudl be most welcome.

Thank you

Not sure what you mean. Is FrontPage not saving the password? Or Windows isn't? If Windows, is this user EVER asked if they want to save passwords?

Thank you for your response. I just checked the details of the problem with our staff, and it looks like the problem is with windows since every program using password security requires the ID and password to be entered each time.

Asking to save the password does not seem to help.

Do you have any tips that might help us get this sorted out?

Sorry, no. I'm not a Windows person and was only trying to clarify. But now you know it's a Windows issue. Perhaps you can ask the forum leaders here to move your question.

Good luck!

Someone probably disabled the password caching feature of IE, accessible through Tools>Internet Options>Content tab>Autocomplete button. See if any boxes are selected. You can reactivate autocomplete and password storage with this registry tweak (or manually, on that size network):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use FormSuggest"="Yes"
"FormSuggest Passwords"="Yes"
"FormSuggest PW Ask"="Yes"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms]
"AskUser"=dword:00000001
