I have a number of staff members that sign in to a website utility
which lets them edit our various web pages. When they sign in using
IE6, they get prompted with the login box which has the check button
to remember password. When they check it, the next time that they
sign in the login appears with the username and password already
filled in. In IE7 when they check the password box, the next time
that they sign in, only the username is prefilled and the password
needs to be typed in each time. How can I fix this so it works like
IE6?

Thanks

Assuming WinXP machines, uninstall IE7 via Add/Remove Programs. What you're
seeing is part of IE7's enhanced security.

If this is enhanced security, why even have the Remember Password check box
present if it's good for nothing in the end? That doesn't make sense to me.

Possibly you have an anitvirus or other program that's locking the settings
of IE7 and thereby preventing the password checkbox from sticking. I know
some programs like Avira and Spybot have settings to lock your IE settings.
