Outlook credentials prompt on VISTA

Hello folks:

Every time I launch Outlook 2003 on my Vista Business workstation I keep
getting this prompt to enter the password. Obviously Outlook is not retaing
credentials on Vista, is there a trick or solution to work around the
problem (besides having to enter the password each time)?

Cheers.

Check your version of Outlook . Outlook 2003 DOES retain passwords

Earlier than Outlook 2003, including Office XP Outlook, has that problem.

I don't believe this to be true. Please cite your evidence.

It's hard to find the original source again; Google Scholar forgot to index
my right thumb.

Just a shot in the dark here, try disabling/uninstalling Desktop Search.

Maybe... but I'm still to receive a valid issue description and working
solution for my users. Other than removing WDS that is.

Is there a Knowledgebase article on this issue?

Outlook 2003 works fine for me.... no password problems.
Outlook 2002 has that problem.
