I need your help guys. I have a problem with my PC. I have access to many different web sites, and since I have many login user names and passwords, I can not rely on my memory anymore. I remember Internet Explorer used to offer me to store passwords, but I did not accept that option. And now, I would like it to save my passwords for me, but I do not know how to turn it on. Any ideas?

Hmm. I know that Internet Explorer asks for confirmation for saving passwords, but I never considered it wise to turn it on. So, I can not really help you with a particular advice. I guess you can find that option somewhere in tools or options, or maybe somewhere in security. But I do not think it is wise for you to use this option. It means that anyone can open your mail, your inbox and outbox, and that is destruction of your privacy. Just imagine, it means that anyone who wants to open lets for example say yahoo mail, will go directly to your inbox! Call me paranoid, but I think it is much wiser to keep your passwords and usernames stored in some hidden file.
