Windows Live Messenger Won't Remember Login Information

This is for anybody that is having trouble with Windows Messenger not remembering your username and password after a system reboot.

Here's the text document I was looking at in the video:

Open the registry.
Windows XP: Click Start, Run. Enter regedit, then click OK.
Windows Vista: Click Start, type regedit into the search box, then press Enter.
Now open the folder User Shell Folders. Use the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User Shell Folders.
Now, a list with several entries appears on the right side. Double-click AppData.

At Value, enter the following and click OK:
Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
Windows Vista: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

In Windows Vista, do the same for the entry Local AppData with its value %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local.

Good luck and thanks for watching.

i think that this problem is caused by downloading yahoo messanger, wonder if its a deliberate design , yahoo trying to make ppl stop using wlm.

@orangestoneface Actually I think you're right. Though it would just be a glitch which hasn't been sorted out yet.
