I am really hoping someone out there can help me figure out why MS Outlook
2007 consistenly prompts me for my password even though it is saved in my
account settings. I have tried every registry change that I have found
through my research and even added the AppData key. I have removed the
e-mail account and added back, but I am still prompted for my password every
time I try to Send/Receive mail. I am using Windows XP and MS Outlook 2007.
I did not start having this problem until I upgraded from MS Outlook 2003 to
MS Outlook 2007. I also don't have the problem with Outlook Express which is
on the same computer. Please help because this is extremely frustrating.
There has to be some solution to this that has not yet been identified.

Thanks!

After relentlessly searching for solutions to this aggravating problem, I
was
happy to find a true fix. Although not a newbie, I always seem to create
inadvertant problems when I edit the registry for some reason or
another...even when I export and save the entire existing registry and
then
re-install it when those mysterious other problems turn up.

My question concerning
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\UserShell
Folders\AppData" is two-fold:

1) Would I be safe to export that specifically registry entry from my
other
computer (also, Windows XP) that runs correctly without this particular
problem?

It should be safe, but you have to make sure the value is appropriate for
your particular PC. If you want AppData to point to the default location,
it will take you less type to simply enter the correct value that it would
be to export from another PC, transport the reg file, then import on the
second PC.

2) Or, do I need to create all the parameters listed that are correct?

My "working" computer without the nagging request for "save password" has
a
number of other entries missing besides the "%userprofile%\Application
Data."

What entries are missing? Often (but I don't know for sure for this
particular set of keys) Windows assumes a particular value when a key
doesn't exist. I haven't looked a many PCs specifically for this key, but
those which I have examined seem to have the same complement of keys under
the UserShell Folders container.
