One of our computers at work (running Win XP SP-2) refuses to save passwords
in IE6 despite having the preferences set up correctly. I've watched the
user do it several times and nothing ever is saved when they go back to the
website a few minutes later. Does anyone have a quick fix to this? MSs
Knowledge Database was of no use thanks to it "being down" again each time I
got in. When I finally did get a page of results to open, I didn't see
anything and then it went down again.

Thanks much for the help!

Check if it is set to auto save passwords.

Used MS KB, found an article about "protected storage" registry entries.
(www.google.com has lots of info , pointers to the MS stuff, the
registry info [without needing MSKB] and utilities to backup protected
storage usernames/password/urls).

Did a backup of the password/forms data using a small app called
'protected storage passview', which has the registry key info in the
help file.

You *must* Edit / Select All before doing a backup, otherwise you get
only the current selected entry.

In IE did the clear forms / passwords.

Didn't work, next with the MS KB info / other info and regedt32 , found
the key for the protected storage, reset security to allow user access
to key.

In IE did the clear forms / passwords.

User could now access password sites and details were remembered.

You would think MS would notice if it was so difficult to use.

Checked that ... as it was my first thought too. It was.

As I said, I did that. But either I'd get "database down" errors or
only one page that had nothing dealing with IE6 passwords and then the
database would error out again. That's why I was hoping someone knew
the exact article ... or at least a quick fix.

WTF are you blabbing about?
