DUN not saving password
Ron in SWGeorgia
Reinstalled DUN
Deleted *.pwl files, on all drives
Checked Client for Microsoft Networds installed
Checked the registry for DisablePasswordCaching=0
Deleted binary reference in the registry for Autologon
I've done it all and it still doesn't save the password, help!

Defragmenter. The next time I went online, Dialup Networking aborted
with a message suggesting that my PWL files were corrupted, and that I
should delete them and enter passwords manually. Since then, password
caching has been disabled, with no Save Password button. As with Ron's
case, all the stated conditions are met for enabled password caching.
Except, there's one difference. I thought I read that the AutoLogon key
should have a binary value of "01 00 00 00 00 00".
If anyone has information on this, please e-mail me too. Thanks!

creating a Windows password and see if it will allow you to save your
password.

try disabling user profiles then logon with a blank password
then set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Network
to 0 but instead of a string values of 0 set it to a DWORD value of 0 (Dec).
you may have to delete DisablePwdCaching and recrreate it a a DWORD value.
It worked for me.

Hallelujah,
Ron,
Persistence always pays off in this game - eventually.
I tried the instructions you gave me but I was not getting a logon screen
but then I never do as I am a stand alone user, ie not on a network and
normally don't worry about logging on as a "User". So I set about creating
"users" but it was clear I was not being permitted to create passwords for
them or they were being ignored. Ie I could log on with any password I
liked.
I re-read the suggested articles and a few more on MSKB and discovered that
I made a mistake when setting up the Registry Key "DisablePwdCaching" with a
value of "0" as specified in "Dial-Up Networking Password Is Not Saved" KB
article.
Elsewhere, I read that you must set the "0" value using DWORD. As soon as
I did this PWs are caching like a dream!
Thanks for prompting me to have another go at this - I had all but given it
away as a bad joke! I hope this helps others on the newsgroup with the same
problem. Use DWORD!!
