Outlook Password wont save .. for send, or receive.

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?

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."

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

THANK GOD I found this post! I have been thru this same runaround for weeks
and this solution worked for me as well. (XP + Outlook 2007).

Yeah, me too! Perhaps we should add that to our list of things to check, cuz,
apparently something makes it dissappear.

Here was the Resolution/Recommendations: -
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\AppData". AppData is of type REG_EXPAND_SZ and should
contain
the value: "%userprofile%\Application Data" - when password prompt in
outlook

That makes a lot of sense, since Outlook expects to store send/receive data
in that folder. What puzzles me is why that reg key wasn't there.
