No, Sean, just Workstation 4, at home, single computer. I haven't done a thing. I remember, when I first installed NT, some six months ago, that it was only IE that would not hold the passwords, in between browser sessions. That may be the genesis of the .PWL files being in my mind. But frankly, I may be thinking of an issue in which 95 had a type of hotfix, (not a 95 term) in which some bug with the .PWL file was fixed. In any event, sometime soon, after probably a few of the many times I have started fresh and reinstalled the OS, that issue went away. I honestly can't say why. I have the active desktop installed, though I don't use most of it, just some of the single click options. Let me understand. Are you saying that whenever you have a browser window open, and are navigating around a p/w necessary site, you are re-entering that info every time you request a new page? Or are you talking about caching the information on to the HD, so it is there at the next browser session? I just assumed it was the browser that kept the p/w info cached in memory while the browser was open. Are we talking apples and oranges, or was I responding to an issue not being discussed? (it's happened before<G>) Len
