I have been searching for days now how to correct and error I made. I
went to a web site and it asked for my name and password. I typed it
in and a dialog box came up and asked me if: Do you want Windows to
remember your password? I clicked no by mistake. Ever since then I
have had to type in this information. I cleared all history and
passwords and unchecked all options in the autocomplete section of
content under internet options, restarted internet explorer, then went
and rechecked all the options and restarted internet explorer but I
still don't get the option of having Windows remember my login ID and
Passwords. How do I fix this?

Since I do not use XP, I cannot be certain that this will work with
your setup, but it's worth a try:

Click 'Tools' in Internet Explorer. Choose 'Internet Options'. Click
the 'Content' tab. Under the 'Personal Information' heading, click the
'Auto Complete' button. Click the "User names and passwords on forms"
button. Click 'Prompt me to save passwords.'

Please let me know if this solves your problem.

I've done exactly the same thing in the past !

Try this:

Tools, Internet options, content
Click the auto complete button
Uncheck the "auto complete user name and passwords on forms" option.

You can also delete your auto complete history from this page.

That worked for me.

Hope this helps.
