Every Windows version has had a problem with password saving and this one is no different which is no surprise.	Guest (0)

Windows asked me for a password - don't enter one, just press Enter or OK. Win XP then sets up your .pwl file, and next time you log on to the 'net it saves your password. After that, you don't need the password for the net OR for Windows. SH	Guest (0)
