How to Enable Stored User Names and Passwords in XP SP1

External Since: Apr 19, 2006 Posts: 60

Hi All,

I have a XP SP1 with a hardened configuration that has disabled stored user
names and passwords (from the manage users control panel app). There is no
"Add" button. Whenever I access a network resource (when I am not logged on
to the domain) I am prompted for U/P, but there is not check box to remember
password.

I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that I can enable this functionality via the
registry. Does anyone have instructions on how to do so?

Thanks,
Scott
