If you want those bits you'll need XP Pro.

Cheers Mark,

Upgraded to XP Pro today , as you said, I can now access the group policy snap in.

One thing, I provided a password for the Admin account, so I could schedule some tasks in the Task Manager that required passwords to run.
How do I turn off the password promt when booting? I want to boot without provinding a password. No one else will use the machine.

Any time I close Outlook and re-open it, I have to re-enter the passwords for the e-mail accounts every time I check for new e-mail.

Is there a policy somewhere that will let XP store passwords or remeber them. I have ticked the remember password box in the e-mail account settings, but it doesn't remember them

sounds like youve been messing with th secuity settings to much
- that obviously shouldnt happen in outlook

Im dont think u can login automatically... but ill happily be corrected

Beat you to it

Cleared the password for login, and it now log's in without asking for a password.

As for the Outlook not remebering passwords.......

Quit all programs.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit32 in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

On the Edit menu, click Permissions.
Click the registry key for the user that is currently logged on and ensure that Read and Full Control permissions are both set to Allow.
Click the Advanced button, ensure that the user that is currently logged on is selected, that Full Control is listed in the Permissions column, and that This Key and Subkeys is listed in the Apply to column.
Click to select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects check box.
Click Apply, and then click Yes when you receive a prompt to continue.
Click OK, and then click OK again.
Double-click the Protected Storage System Provider key to expand the key, click the user subkey folder that is directly below the Protected Storage System Provider key, click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes in the warning message dialog box.

The user subkey folder looks similar to the following example:
S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701

NOTE: For every identity that you have, there may be a subkey under the Protected Storage System Provider key. To resolve this issue in all of your identities, you must delete all of the user subkeys folders under the Protected Storage System Provider key.
On the Registry menu, click Exit, and then restart your computer



Then....Start Outlook Express.

NOTE: If you receive a login error, close the dialog box and proceed.
Click Tools, and then click Accounts.
Click the Mail tab in the Internet Accounts window.
In the Account column, click to highlight the Internet E-mail account to be changed, and then click Properties.
On the Server tab, type your password in the Password box, and then click to select Remember password dialog box.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Close Outlook Express and then restart it.
On the Tools menu, click Send and Receive to test if your password is retained.

It works
