Q. Why is the save password box greyed out in the Connect To window?

A. This behavior can occur if you are not currently logged on to Windows 95. If you click Cancel in the logon dialog box that appears when Windows 95 is starting, your password cache list file is not opened, and your passwords cannot be saved.
This behavior can also occur if you have installed Dial-Up Networking but the client for Microsoft Networks or the client for NetWare Networks has not been installed.
 

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

Method 1
When you start Windows 95, do not click Cancel in the logon dialog box. If you do not have a password, create a new one by typing it in the Password box, or create a null password by clicking OK. If you create a null password, you are no longer prompted to log on to Windows 95 when Windows 95 starts. Creating a null password does not prevent other people from accessing your computer, but does allow you to save your password when you are using Dial-Up Networking or a shared network resource.

NOTE: Creating a null password does not allow you to save your Dial-Up Networking password if you are using user profiles. Using user profiles prevents the Dial-Up Networking password from being saved.

To restart Windows 95 so that you receive the logon dialog box, use the appropriate method.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Not Installed:

Click Start, click Shut Down, click "Close all programs and log on as a different user", and then click OK.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Installed:

Click Start, click Log Off <username>, and then click Yes.

Method 2
Install the client for Microsoft Networks or the client for NetWare Networks in Network properties.

Method 3
To correct this, go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Passwords and select User Profiles. Change the setting to "Users can customize their preferences...". This will require you to enter a user password when you start Windows, but will also create a PL file that will allow you to save this password as well as the password for the dialer.
