How can I make my dial up networking (DUN) window remember by password?

Click Start, Find, Files or Folders then put *.pwl as the search term. Search drive C: for these files. Delete all of the pwl files found

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. In the Primary Network Login set to Windows Login or Microsoft Family Login, click OK.

Click Settings, Control Panel, Passwords, Change password

Change the Windows password to a blank password (not blank spaces from your space bar, just leave it empty). Click OK

Still in Control Panel clcik Passwords, User Profiles then tick "All users of this computer use the same....."

Click Apply Close the Control Panel, shut down and reboot.

You should now not have to enter a password but you should be able to set and save your dial-up networking and other passwords.

It is because you havent got a logon when you first logon to windows.

Make sure you have to log on under your own user logon, if there isnt one just create a profile and then you'll see that the password should save!
