XP loses user names & passwords on reboot

[MPTech]

When I reboot, all of my User Names & Passwords are lost.
Is this a setting/configuration I can reset? (XP Home SP3)

I am assuming that you are referring to Internet Explorer user names and passwords for various web sites. If this is the case, then your Internet Explorer settings are probably set to delete cookies, or you have a third party anti-malware program that has a similar setting. If this is not the case, or you are referring to Windows user names and passwords, then malware would be suspected.

Or are you talking about loggin in as a NON Admin Windows user and having less access to not seeing other profile folders?

no luck, looking at Internet Options, "Delete browsing history on exit" was already unchecked.

still looking.

Try checking the box, rebooting, and unchecking it and rebooting again. If that doesn't work, then I would suspect some other program is clearing the cookies.
