Hi,
I`ve got one small problem with my mail client (Outlook Express 6). It
hasn`t remembered the password for user account. I must write it again and
again. I am administrator on this computer (Windows XP professional).
Thanks

Select "Outlook Express" as the product.
Search on "remember password protected storage".

It's probably a corrupted pstore in the registry (password cache).
The KB article has you delete it. You will then get prompted, enter
the login credentials, select to remember, and hopefully it will
remember from then on.
