Vista - Messenger won't retain login after reboot - revisited.

I have once again reloaded MSN messenger, and as usual it won't retain login
information after reboot. The fixer did not work, although it happily wiped
all of my Outlook Express passwords.

What next? Yahoo logins to my msn accounts so I don't really need MSN
messenger. Is there anything else that can be done before I just delete it
and give up on it? I'm currently using XP64 and version 8.1 build
8.1.0178.00 of Windows Live Messenger.

I'm having the same problem. Every time I reboot or startup my computer, I
have to log into Messenger because it will not retain (save) my login info.
What's with that anyway? I had to replace my hard drive with a new and
larger drive, did a clean install, and am still getting this problem.

There is a key called AppData. Before I fixed it, its contents was
%APPDATA%. chang it to %USERPROFILE%/Application Data (which refers to the
folder Application Data in your user folder).
