HOW CAN I GET LOGON TO REMEMBER PASSWORD ?

- Start date
bilko,
Dial-Up Networking won't remember your Password
In some cases, Dial-Up Networking will not remember passwords. What happens is that either the Save Password check box is disabled, or the setting is ignored.
To fix this problem, see one of these Microsoft's Knowledge Base articles:
Dial-Up Networking Password Is Not Saved: Q148925
Save Password Check Box Is Unavailable: Q137361
In some cases, the Password List files get corrupted. Try deleting (make a backup prior to deleting) all .PWL files in your \Windows directory, then try to connect again and save your password.
Your *.pwl file(s) contain your passwords.

Reghakr,just read the article.Looks a bit complicated to me.--but it is 2-45 am here in the UK and I`ve been gigging this evening so I am a bit tired.I will look at it in more detail tomorrow and try the suggestions they make.I have done a bit of editing in the registry before ,so hopefully I`ll get there in the end----unless you have a magic wand.
