I've got a Win Xp SP2. When prompted for proxy credentials i fill in the form
and check remember my credentials, but they are not cached and I have to
fill'em in agin and again. I checked cache my credentials in explore options,
but didn't work.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Christian,

Password caching can be disabled via policies:

Here are the registry keys:

Current User:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network

All Users:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Networ
k

Key Name: 'DisablePwdCaching'
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = Enable, 1 = Disable

So, these need to be 0 (zero), but maybe password caching has been disabled
for security purposes

Another this you can check is:

Open Internet Explorer
TOOLS menu | Internet Options
Content tab
Autocomplete button

The above is autocomplete passwords

Also, make sure that the 'Protected Storage' Service is running

Click START | RUN
Type 'services.msc' & click OK
Navigate to the Protected Storage service & check its running
