- Managing Password stored in your computer
When you surf the web and check your e-mail, Internet Explorer will ask you to save your password. If you will use this feature, Windows will store your logon credentials for servers, websites, and programs. When you open one of those websites or programs, Windows will try to log you on automatically.
Just go to the Advanced Tab->Manage Passwords
This is very useful if you always forgot the passwords in different email accounts and websites. Just don't forget to Backup for restoring them later when needed. CONS: Usability or Security There are some utilities that can decrypt your stored passwords easily. I recommend saving or storing your password, if this situation doesn't apply to you. To launch NETPLWIZ or Advanced User Accounts Control Panel: Press WinKey+R, Type Netplwiz and Press Enter or in Windows XP Press WinKey+R, Type Control Userpasswords2 and Press Enter
