WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this behavior, delete the DisablePasswordCaching registry value in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Then, stop the Protected Storage service by typing the following line at a command prompt:

net stop &quot;protected storage&quot;

Internet Explorer does not cache passwords if this service is not started in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows NT.
