Okay, just fixed Outlook Express but now I have a brand new challenge.

You know when you visit various websites, (such as this one), and you put it in your favorite places, and you just click on the link and zoom, it takes you there and it NEVER ASKS YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD BECAUSE YOU HAVE STORED IT, or something to that effect......well, ever since the tech guy and I fixed my outlook express problems, for some reason, I have to always type in passwords for every single website I visit.

I go to the neuropathy boards, I have to type in user ID and password. I do check the box "remember my password" but it makes no difference. I am prompted time and time again, to put in user id and password.

I had to put it in this forum just to ask this question. And if I exit and try and go back in again, it will prompt me again.

This has been happening ever since last night.

I go on many websites and I had all my passwords stored.

So what can I do so that my computer will stop making me type in passwords and user id's over and over.

Drives one nuts, believe me.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out here.

Your browser must be clearing all your cookies and /or cache? - that usually deletes all record of stored passwords.
the cookies for those site's & passwords are what is needed to be kept.

for IE go to internet options
on the general tab - Browsing history - go to view files -and see what kind of stuff is listed

hmm, that's all I can see to change/check - I don't use IE much anymore so hopefully someone more familiar with the settings will add some ideas.

Jo:

Exactly how do I do the Internet Options, general tab thing?

I went to control panel, General, and saw Browsing History but all I saw were two buttons. One said Delete and the other said Settings.

There was no way to view files.

On the top of my screen there is no File.. View.. Edit.

There used to be but right now, there just the place for me to put in the URL, and when I hit either the enter key on my keyboard, or go to the right of the URL , and click the little up and down arrow, then I can go to any website I want.

So how can I see the view files thing?

Thanks so much.

Melody

You were close to it-
I must have forgot to write that step
- click on the settings button and that opens the next pop up window where you can view files & objects.

I don't know for sure if that is the problem but it's good to see what is there once in awhile.

I did just as you suggested. I went to settings and view files.

There are 13 items in the temporary internet folder.

So what does this tell you.

I still have to put in a user id and a password every single time.

Very frustrating.

Anybody know???????

melody,

when you go to your Internet Options, the tabs on the top should say:
General, Security, Privacy, Content, Connections, Programs, Advanced.

click on Security.
you will see Icons that say Internet, Local intranet, Trusted, Restricted.

click on Trusted.
click on the box that says Sites.
add the URL of the sites that you want the passwords saved. add them completely http://www.blahblahbla.....

be sure to click save changes or the apply button.

this will allow those sites to use the cookies that will "remember" you.

i hope this helps.

Okay, here's exactly what happened.

I copied and pasted all the URL's in a microsoft word document, so I could copy and paste each one, when I wanted to add it to the site list.

So I had about 7 links in my micro document.

I went to Control Panel, Internet Options, Security,
I clicked on Trusted, I clicked where it said Sites,

and yes, a whole line was there where I could add what I wanted to add.

So when I added the first one, and I clicked on the word ADD, it prompted me saying "this needs to use the https//www "

So I noticed that all my sites started with http and not https, but I added the s, anyway

So I clicked on add, and I did this with all 7 URLs

So I went to click save or apply and all it allowed me to do was click on okay.

I tried to test this and it didn't work. I put in my user id and password, went into this forum, exited, tried to come on back and it asked me for my user id and password again.

I am definitely doing something wrong with the add a site trusted thing.

Thanks,

Mel

when you logged on to nt, did you check off the box that says "remember me" ?

do you use the Log Out or do you just click the X?

if you Log Out, then it totally clears the cookies and you won't be automaticly logged in when you come back.

you got me curious now.

Hon. I've been storing passwords for years. I always click on the "remember me" thing.

Guess what??

EVERYTHING WORKS.

I have no idea what the hell I did, but I did what you said.

Ten minutes ago, it didn't work. Now I can go to different forums, (I tested) and I'm stored.

Life is beautiful once again.

I THANK YOU. You are all geniuses!!!!!

Oh, when the passwords work, life is good, life is good. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but LIFE IS GOOD!!!! lol

Melody

Woe is me!!!!!

It's doing it again!!!!!

I give up.


Life stinks!!!

lol
