Registry was set to not cache passwords, but I changed that. Passwords now get registered in SYSTEM.INI and XXX.PWL files are made in \\Windows as expected. Problem is, the last used password doesn't show up in the Login box at startup or after loging out. Made new password, still no show. Problem is not so much forcing the person to type both login name and password, but that Win98 is perfectly happy to make a new login with new passwords every time someone mistypes the login name. Anyone know how to get that login name to stick? [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

It's like an alien game of "keep-away."
