Unable to save password (exchange/xp home)

Greetings all,

Due to limitations of XP Home I am unable to save an Outlook password for an
Exchange account (RPC over HTTPS). However, I remember there being some sort
of hack that would override (or auto fill) the password so this wasn't an
issue. I am aware of the security risks this involves, looking for an answer
on how it can (if it can) be done.

Thanks,

XP Home cannot join a domain and, therefore, cannot access/save any domain
exchange information.

You will need to upgrade to Windows Professional for this to work. Ask your
employer.

I am highly aware that XP Professional will fix the problem, I was looking
for an alternative method like a hack or a program that will autofill in the
information. I believe I found something a long time ago and lost whatever
resource it was that provided the work around.

Does any else have any helpful information on this subject?

Thanks!
