Mark,

I've seen the same problem in XP with Limited Accounts. I posted the
message below over a week ago but haven't been able to get a response.

Thanks -- Dave

3/25/2009 Remembering sign-in info on Limited accounts

Hello

I support PC's that use Limited accounts and have recently had problems with
WLM 'remembering' signon information. The problem may have started with
Build 2009 v14.0.8064.206 .

Users are signed in with 'Remember me', 'Remember my password' and 'Sign me
in automatically' checked. If the device is placed in Standby or Hibernate,
the user is signed in automatically when they log into their account.

However, once the device is Restart'd, the signon information is gone from
Limited accounts. How can I get Windows/WLM to remember signon information
and sign users in after a Restart?

Thanks in advance -- Dave

Hello evryone;

Thanks

I'm having the same problem.
I used to be able to open Windows Live Messenger and it'd remember my
password and it was quick & easy to just click a button to log in. Since I
updated it a few weeks ago I have to type my email address and password every
damn time I want to start it. IT'S VERY ANNOYING! There must have been
something wrong with the update, but I wish they'd hurry up and make a new
update that works, but looking at this page and others I found on the net it
seems like others have been having this problem a lot longer than me..

Another problem is that before I updated if I clicked the email icon to
check my emails it'd open IE and go straight to my emails (without me having
to type my password). Now it opens Opera (which isn't a problem as that's my
main browser, but why did it change which browser it opens) and it asks me to
type my email address and password. I do that and check the box to always
remember email & password but next time it hasn't remembered it.

Yes, I face the same problem too. Once you reboot the PC, the login
information is gone even you checked all the remember the username and
password options.

This works. I am just reposting it without all the extra stuff from other
posts.

Open the registry (Start Run regedit)
Browse for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User
Shell Folders

There is a key called AppData.
Double click the AppData Key. Change the Value data
From %APPDATA%.
To %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
