My T-21 Thinkpad laptop is running Win98SE. When I setup an ISP phon
number and click on the "save password" box, the next time I click o
the icon the password is missing !!!

I have to retype the password every time I go online. Any suggestion
???

NOTE: I have my desktop setup the same way, and there the password i
always shown

Steve,

Thanks for response, THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX FORUM FOR A 76 YEAR OLD TO
NAVIGATE !!!!!

Turns out, password folder was corrupt. Deleted folder and recreated
DUN icons and everything is working again.

NOTE: Have no idea how to post this in "public forum", you have my
permission to move it.

You're welcome, Bob. I'm glad to help. And your message made it to
the "public forum" just fine.
