| | Stored User Names and Password I'm trying to use the Stored User Name and Passwords functionality so that I get automatically logged into sites. I've added details for my hotmail account, i.e. Log on to = www.hotmail.com User name = my hotmail email account Password = my hotmail password When I start IE and go to Hotmail I do not get logged on automatically. Am I missing something or have I misunderstood what the stored user names and password functionality should do? Thanks Nick |

Have you allowed cookies for www.hotmail.com, if you have set IE to block cookies by default. ss. |

| | Re: Stored User Names and Password Hi, Yes, I've got www.hotmail.com added so that cookies are always allowed. Are my expectations of how 'Stored Names and Passwords' work correct?

However, you should be able to log straight into Hotmail accounts using nothing other than the tick boxes on the login screen to save account name and password. I don't think that it does this on my machines because I use Windows Live Messenger, but it's possible. I used to use the Live Sign-In Assistant, as I have two Hotmail accounts, but now you can actually link Hotmail accounts together, and switch between them using the address link just above the Sign-Out button. http://liveidsupport.spaces.live.com...7BB6!141.entry ss. |

| | Re: Stored User Names and Password No probs and thanks for the tips on the Live account. I was hoping that the Stored Names functionality would enable me to be automatically signed in to all the sites which require login details, e.g. online banking ,etc. Cheers Nick "Synapse Syndrome" wrote: Quote: > "Synapse Syndrome" <synapse@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:%23R9LVMmxIHA.2360@xxxxxx Quote: > > > > I'm not sure that you are referring to a standard part of Windows. > Ah, I was worng there.
