    Are you sure that you don't have a program sechuled to run that is automatically cleaning up cookies and temporary files?

    IE8 never forgets my password for NBR or other sites unless I run a program to clean up my files.

    all the correct settings in IE are enabled... the program which is use is tune-up utilities but it doesn't do this as each time i clean up , i leave internet explorer files alone... Anyways i'm using firefox and seems to be ok... No wonder ppl don't like IE... Slow and erratic...
