Outlook 2003 on Media Center - no option to save password

[sfella]

There is no option to save a password when open outlook and connect to
a exchange server. I tried setting the value of disabledomaincreds in
the registry to '0', but it was already default at that value. Is it
because my OS is media center? My XP machines are okay.

More likely because your other computers are in the same domain of the
Exchange server and your MCE is in a workgroup configuration.

Media center does not have an option to be part of a domain. There are
other XP machines around me that have the option to save their password
in Outlook. Maybe it is just Media Center.

Media center is built on Win XP Home - if you want to save the password,
you'll need to upgrade it to WinXP Pro.
