tools>internet options>privacy>advanced is another place to see the two settings of "overriding automatic cookies handling" and "Always allow cookie sessions".
In the security tab you can also set the last item seen in all four sections at the bottom to "automatic logon with current user name and password".
This will see that all user names and passwords are maintained without the need to retype each on every visit. With FireFox you would simply use the password manager making things a little easier there rather then remembering all these.
(I've been doing enough of that lately for some reason. :eek:
