Windows doesn't store my passwords anymore

[jakethemuss]

I think I may have deleted the .pwl file on my Win98 install.
Now every time I log on to the net and go to sites that require password, I have to type in my name and pword again. I do tick the box to remember it.
Does ne1 know how to remedy this?

You can delete the .pwl file with no problem and it will rebuild. What version of IE are you using? Do you have all the updates? Try clearing your browser cache and cookies and if you have IE 5.* run the IE repair tool then try logging in again.

These passwords are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder, so whenever that folder is cleared you lose the savings.

If you have your PC set up to clear this folder on shutdown you will lose the passwords every time you shut down.

Don't know if that's your problem but it's the only thing I can think of.
