Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The username and password used to access the forum would have been stored if the IE was not configured to block cookies from the forum. To be able to make your computer remember your username and password, you must accept cookies from the forum.
Key Takeaway: Your user name and password are remembered by storing them in a "cookie." Your web browser stores this cookie in a file on your system. To modify the existing settings on your computer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, click the Content tab, and then click the AutoComplete button. In the AutoComplete Settings window, check (or uncheck) the options you would like to use.
