Sick of having to type your password every time you open Outlook 2007 even though you know you have saved it?

Then give this tip a try.

Open the following path:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft

Once open you will see numerous folders including a “protect” folder. Delete it.

When you have deleted the protect folder, restart Outlook. You may need to type your password(s) once more but once saved, that should be it.
