Because I am forced to use dial-up internet access and because phone lines
drop a lot, this is a major problem for me. On my old XP unless I logged off
a (non-secure) site, then the next time I brought the site up, I would
already be logged in. This doesn't happen on my new Vista. There must be a
configurable option somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I've deleted all
the temp files and restarted. No help. I've read all the options under all
the tabs of "Tool - Internet Options" and nothing seems to apply. I've tried
changing the classification of the site in question to both secure and
non-secure site w/o affecting this issue. What am I missing? This situation
is further complicated by the Vista's evidently extreme sensitivity to
connection issues as well - lines drop all the time where they are very
stable on the XP.

Help?

With the warning that a reset will delete stored passwords, work through

Some pages will have a "Remember me" or similar button. You're looking for
