It appears to me, by reading all of the questions about password issues, that
there just might be a problem in that area with IE7. My issue is with the
initial login to "login.live.msn.com". IE7 remembers and fills in my UserID,
but since IE7 "upgrade" from IE6, NEVER fills in the password, even though it
is supposed to by my settings.
That being said, is there a solution out there?

Thanks!

Despite what the log-in page might suggest (and unlike loggin in to
Messenger), Live.com ID passwords are not "remembered" by any version of IE.

What settings are you referring to? Go to Internet Options, click on
the Content tab and click the Settings button in the AutoComplete section. Is
there a checkmark in the "Prompt me to save passwords" box? Click on the
Advanced tab of Internet Properties and check to see if "Use Inline
AutoComplete" is checked.
If this does not solve the problem are you using some type of "cleaner"
software that removes files, form data or passwords?
Have a nice day.

C.B.

Actually, this is the URL that I am having an issue with:
http://login.live.com/login.srf?lc=1...9b42cb8916ea92

If Live is the issue, then is there a way to login to MSN, for example,
without using "live"??

Your Live.com ID is used to log-in to MSN, (Windows Live) Hotmail, and
Windows Live/MSN Messenger now.

If you log-in to Windows Live/MSN Messenger first, you can then open your
browser to your MSN/Hotmail account by clicking on the icon in Notification
Area without an additional sign-in. From there, you can go to, e.g.,
http://my.msn.com without an additional sign-in, too.

You have a popup blocker that's stopping that window from appearing.
Probably part of a third-party toolbar.

Let's look at it this way.... If I click on IE7, and it "tries" to open my
home page (http://my.msn.com), I must ALWAYS enter my password in the login
screen first. It WILL remember my user name, but NEVER remembers my password.
IF memory serves me right, IE6 did not have this issue (I could be wrong),
but "sometime" in the past Internet Explorer "remembered" my password always.

If IE7 is the issue then should I go back to IE6 or is there a work-around??

P.S. PA Bear, I find your responses to unlucky souls, like myself, to be
spot on and EXTREMELY helpful! I'm counting on you for this one.... No
pressure ;-)

Yes. Windows Live ID (almost) never remembers the password.
IE7 is not the issue.

That's been default behavior for LiveID, .NET Passport, MSN, Hotmail,
Windows Live/MSN Messenger for a few years now, despite the fact that the
option to remember your username and password is so prominently present.

[Thanks very much for your feedback, Steve!]
