Computer Guys I need your help with Internet Explorer

[Robbnva]

ok I just upgraded from IE6 to IE7 on my work pc and ever since it will not remember my usernames and passwords. It worked fine on IE6 but nothing on 7. I have made sure autocomplete is setup like it is supposed to but still nothing.

Any ideas?

Never upgraded to IE7, went with firefox instead, and glad that i did, i suggest you do the same, really IE blows (now that ive seen and used firefox)

Open IE. Click on tools/internet Options/security/custom Level

Scroll down to User Authentication/Logon

The second bubble is to remember for intranet only, the third bubble will remember it for everythin.

Yup...I barely use IE now except to get a stream of sporting events off the radio. Sometimes Firefox and Windows Media Player don't get along...:mad:

Try going to Tools>Internet Options>Security. Select trusted sites and click the sites button. Add the site you are trying to store the password for, then go to the site and login with "remember my password" checked.

You have tech support at your work?

I do not have administrator rights so I can not add any other browser

tech support doesn't care about my problem

Have them delete this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW

It's in your NTUSER.DAT file so they can load it in a hive from another computer. Just log off and make a copy of your ntuser.dat file before doing it.

In a work environment where Internet Explorer is the standard browser that is not an acceptable answer.

Your first problem is that you use Internet Explorer....

Than the I.T. dept. that runs your environment must love std's :laugh: :laugh:

My last job required IE as well for the longest time. Not that they liked IE. They didn't. In fact, IE 7 was outright banned. But it was easier for them to support and "manage" than anything else. They eventually added support for Firefox, which made everyone happier.

That was an aside.

In answer to the question, it sounds like you're out of luck without administrator privileges. Sorry. You could talk to your IT department, but I'm going to guess they're trying to "secure the system" but blocking stuff like password savers. :\

The IT department doesn't particularly like IE7, but if everyone's using it there's usually a reason for it. Particularly if you have remote users working their own environment who are not fully aware of Firefox or if you have web apps developed for IE6/7 that exhibit glitches w/Firefox.
