Ok, here is my long story.

I wanted to clone my Windows 2000 drive to a new drive using Ghost 7.0. I had boot problems on the new drive, so I tried again, using Symanatec's suggestion to use MS Sysprep tool 1.1, to perhaps help the cause. (it didn't help me). What it did do was create problems on my original drive with permissions to other drives and folders. That all straighened out, my remaining issue is my email client; Outlook Express.

When OE 5.5 would go to my mail servers, I was prompted for passwords. Hmmm. Looking at Tools; Accounts; Mail Tab; "any mail account"; Server Tab, the passord was blank, with the remember password box checked. Subsequent attempts to reenter and save passwords are futile.

I also tried to deinstall and reinstall Outlook Express according to manual procedure provided by MS. No luck.
