Vista dosnt remember passwords

It sounds like they've done the same thing, only didn't disable or hide the "remember password" checkbox. I was so annoyed with this in until I found the reg fix. You don't have to use batch files or plaintext passwords. So is there anyway to save passwords on Home Premium now?

Just in case it's not clear, what I have is a Vista laptop that I use to access the domain at work. I have the workgroup name the same as the domain name. A possibly related problem, is that when I log on to the laptop local , important Intel drivers load, and Vista asks if it should load them or not. They should all load.

I click the checkbox for "don't ask me this" each time, and it doesn't remember my answer, so I have to answer 4 questions each time Vista boots up.

Then I have to log in each time I want to access a network share or print. And I have to answer a question every time I change a setting.

I have 5 bulk licenses for Vista Business as well so I have a MAK license for them all , but Microsoft has them listed as all being used, although they actually haven't been installed on any computers for over a year. I installed it on two computers originally, but neither worked well with Vista and I took it off both. It's on a home network.

I solved the issue, but not the way I wanted to. I totally reinstalled 7 and all is okay this time. I have no idea what caused the problem, or if it was just a strange glitch. It was definitely frustrating to have to input mail passwords every time I opened Outlook, then again when I sent mail. I'll mark this solved, even though we didn't have a chance to come up with a solution. As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts A.
