The passwords cached for Network shares on other computers and applications like MSN Live, MS Outlook, Sharepoint portal, Outlook Webmail, etc are lost when I reboot my computer, which runs on Vista.

I always check the Remember password checkbox in applications/login dialogs where ever prompted.

I cannot imagine of a third party program that may clean up this on system restart/shutdown.

Any idea, as to what is going wrong?
