Using XP Home SP3
I tried this, and it did not help :-(
Once logged in to Windows Live, my Hotmail logs automatically - even if I
close WLM. But, this auto login for WL and Hotmail is lost once I re-boot.
My POP accounts passwords never are remembered (it was like this before I
tried the fix).
Thanks.
