From the article:
"When you first type a user name and password on a Web page, you receive the following prompt:
Do you want Windows to remember this password, so that you don't have to type it again the next time you visit this page?"
2. If you click Tools, Internet Options, the tab labeled Content, and then the AutoComplete. . . button in the "Personal Information" section, you will find where you can put a "Checkmark" in a box labeled "Prompt me to save passwords".
Help is available concerning each dialog box throughout IE by clicking a question mark (?)
when available at the top of the dialog box, and then by clicking on the item you want information;
or you can right-click an item and select the What's This? prompt.
3. For instance: If I have the "Prompt me to save passwords" set to null (no check) and access e-BAY,
I am not asked whether I want the information saved for use later. However, if that box has a Checkmark, the system will prompt whether I want it saved and if I select NO at this point, I believe the Checkmark is arbitrarily removed and the option is no longer useful regardless of the site accessed.
