Windows Live Messenger is one of the most popular instant messenger today. Ever since the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009 is out, there has always been problems such as the webcam not working, unable to sign in and even small annoying problems such as the Remember me and Remember my password option not working. If you have personal laptop that is only used by you, surely you would like to have the convenience of just clicking a button to automatically sign in to Messenger instead of manually typing the password every time you want to sign in.
When you enter your Windows Live ID and password, then checked both Remember Me and Remember My Password option, it will continue working but once you restart your computer and launch Windows Live Messenger, you will see that your ID and password is not saved! Thanks to Jonathan Kay, he found out that Windows Live Messenger not able to remember a user’s Live ID is caused of Yahoo! Toolbar installer which messes up your Windows user profile registry. Unfortunately uninstalling the Yahoo! Toolbar will not fix the problem.
Again thanks to Jonathan, he created a simple tool called Make Messenger Remember to solve Messenger forgetting your username and password problem. All you need to do is download, run it and click the Fix button. Make Messenger Remember will automatically restart Windows after completing its work, so be sure to close and save any data prior to beginning the process. After restart, run Windows Live Messenger and see if your Live ID and hotmail is saved. If not, simply enter again and save it. The next time you restart your computer the login information should be there.
If you get the error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application.” when running Make Messenger Remember, that means you don’t have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your computer. Go here to download and install .NET Framework.
