Hi,

Big computer companies still sell desktop and laptop computers with Windows
XP Home to offices, where users suffer from it's missing ability to remember
network passwords. When you try to log into any server or domain there isn't
an option "remember password" as in Windows XP Pro.
Same if one tries to connect with MSIE Windows XP Home laptop to office
Sharepoint services, one has to enter the password each time without
remembering option in the "Connect to ..." user name and password dialog
window.

Is there any way to add "remember password" option to Windows XP Home?
Is there any good 3rd party application which might help?

If sellers could point out this missing capability, many users had chosen XP
Pro instead.
Unfortunately it has turned out like one of MS best kept secret, which most
salesman haven't heard about.

Your sarcasm misses its target since you posted your question
(which concerns WinXP) in a Win2000 newsgroup . . .

properly.......
