IE 6 on XP won't save passwords

[Guest_imported]

Just got a new computer - has XP and IE6 - no matter what settings I change in IE6, I can't get it to remember my passwords for different internet sites. Yes, I'm checking the "save password" box : )) But it just won't work. I appreciate any help anyone can lend !

Verify that password caching is enabled. To do so, use Registry Editor to view the DisablePwdCaching DWORD value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Network
If password caching is disabled, the DisablePwdCaching DWORD value has a value data of 1. To enable password caching, change the value data to 0.
NOTE: If the DisablePwdCaching value does not exist, add this DWORD value with a data value of 0 to the registry key listed above.
Note that you may need to remove this value altogether, and then restart your computer to make caching work.
============================================================
