223030 2004-03-17 01:08:00 When setting up a new connection on a W98 PC the "save my password" option is always greyed out on 9x machines, but never on XP machines. Why is this, is there a way to force a save password for a 98 connection? tombarnfield (2475)
223031 2004-03-17 04:20:00 i think u haveta have the login in 98 with the password instead of cancelling the login when you log into 98. Spacemannz (808)
223032 2004-03-17 04:53:00 I am logging in to a domain, so a password is always entered. tombarnfield (2475)
223033 2004-03-20 23:31:00 I dont think 98 would know what a domain is. What exactly are you trying to do? Get 98 on the net? file share between 98? and xp?

Use the workgroup not a domain, if this is what you're trying to do.

Dial-Up Networking Password Box Grayed Out (Windows 95/98/Me)
Category: Home > Network > Internet and Remote Access
If you are having problems trying to get DUN to remember your password and you find the option grayed out then there are a few things you can try .

1 . Make sure you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed on your system . Control Panel / Networking / Add / Client / Microsoft / Microsoft Networking .

2 . Your Windows startup is configured to ask for a password and you are hitting the esc key when the logon box is displayed .

3 . You have a corrupted password file . Do a search for * . pwl in the Windows folder and rename all the files you find . Note - this will force you to rebuild your password files from scratch .

4 . Check the Registry:


Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT . EXE) .
Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Network\Real Mode Net .
If you see autologon (on the right side) with a value of "00 00 00 00", double-click on it, and change the value to "01 00 00 00 00" .
Exit RegEdit and restart the PC .

Settings:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Network\
Real Mode Net]
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)


Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system . We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved . Use the information provided at your own risk .

223035 2004-03-21 02:43:00 A windows 98 client can login to a domain server, but that is not my question anyway. What I want to do is use the RDC client to run a specific application on a 2K3 terminal server, without the user having to enter a password. I can do this successfully with an XP client, but when I want to save the RDP file to the desktop as a shortcut on a W98 PC, I am unable to save the password as well. This means that the user then gets a second password request before the specified TS application will run. tombarnfield (2475)
223036 2005-04-07 13:27:00 hey mate am having identical prob did you find out .. all the best chris chrisfitz (5410)
223037 2005-05-04 05:26:00 This is by design . The method used to encrypt the stored password is
not available on W9x or NT4 . You need W2K or XP for this .
