Aug Updates Require new login @ passwd. protected sites

I'm on Windows Vista SP1 boxes (an Asus Notebook and a Dell Dimension
laptop) and I have installed every Vista update provided by MSFT. I get
advanced notice (which anyone can) of the updates and install them promptly.
I did not install a scintilla of new software in over a month or a software
update that would interfere in the equation.

Immediately after installing all of the August updates MSFT provided, I
noticed that at the many sites I have to supply a user name and password to
sign in, I had to supply the user name and password as if I'd never signed
in.

This required a bit of searching for some, because there are too many to
remember, and the requirements for passwords are varied.

This happened immediately upon installing the August 2008 updates that I
installed a couple days ago.

I'm posting to ask if anyone else noticed this after installing them?


Many thanks.

I assume that this happens with Internet Explorer 7? Does it happen with
Firefox?

Alias

Did you install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually?

Almost sounds like you had some corruption. Windows would then set IE back to
defaults.

[BTW, setting to auto login on confidential sites is a big no no.]
