| Guest | Doesn't save password Hi. When accessing a computer on the network and asks for username and password, even though I check the 'save password' box, it only keeps it for this session (ie until restarting). It seems the 'save password' isn't working? Thanks |

| Guest | Re: Doesn't save password Isn't there any way around it? It's going to suck pretty bad (at least for me) if that is the case, because I have my favorites pointing over to a central location on my network, but it now of course won't show up until the other pc has been accessed with the U&P.

| Guest | Re: Doesn't save password Also, relogging of network drives at startup fails too; I presume because of the same reason? I see it as an absolute necessity to have it save the username and password like XP does and keep it for every (next) session (bootup), otherwise any network stuff that is automatically set to run would be useless?? I certainly do hope this will be changed before the final. In the meantime, I'm sure there are commands that can be used either in batch or WSH to initiate a logon? WSH is still being used in Vista isn't it? Thanks "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" wrote: > I think thats by design just for the session, security reasons I guess.

| Guest | RE: Doesn't save password Just a note that I have resolved this issue, but I'm not sure if it's still a bug or not? In XP, when I access a computer on the network that requires a U&P, I put in my local username (which is also added in accounts on the other machine) for the first time, then it keeps it for every session. In Vista, the resolution to it not keeping my username and password was that I found the 'manage network passwords' area and this time I manually changed it to point to the same username, but the one on the networked computer, and it keeps it and all works fine. I guess I must ask if I've been doing it all the improper way all this time (in XP too) with putting the correct username but the local username? ie client is named PRIMARY, other computer on network I'm accessing is named SECONDARY, and I've been logging on to SECONDARY as PRIMARY\(username). Obviously XP accepts it, but Vista not. "Marauder" wrote: > Hi.
