In the Remember My Password dialogue box, I check "Remember My Password".
But I still have to type it in everytime I open up my mailbox. Is there a
glich in Outlook Express or is it my Internet Provider not allowing it?

Thanks for any response !

Thank you ... I went to the first site and it worked. No more having to
logon.
What I never understood though, and I hope someone can answer this question
...
What exactly am I doing when I export a key from the registry than delete
the original??? I just don't understand how I didn't mess up the registry.

You export the key so that you can restore it if necessary; i.e. if deleting
(or changing) the key screws something up. You restore it by right clicking
the REG file and selecting Merge.
