Password saver lost.

I went out of town for the weekend and my roommate used my computer. Never again!

When I left it if you were to put a name and a password into a website it would ask you if you wanted Windows to save your password. Over the weekend my roomate obviously answered the question "no" and checked the box that said "do not ask me this question again."

How do I get that dialogue/password saver turned back on?

If you are using internet explorer it should be somewhere under tools > options. I am not on a windows computer at the moment so can't give you specifics of where. I do believe there is a list of checkboxes in there that you will have to scroll through and find the "prompt for password save" option.

Nope, that didn't work.

The last time this happened, a couple of years ago, I had to go in and edit the registry. I just don't remember where in the registry I had to go to do it.
