I have IE6 on XP SP2. When a user opens a web site on PC "A" and enters a
name and password to get access they get "invalid user name or password".
When I logon to PC "A" and enter the same name and password I get access ok.
When I log that user onto PC "B" the same name/password combo also works ok.
So I am thinking that the problem only on that one user on that one PC A.
So is IE6 different for each user ? And can I reset IE6 back to defaults
just for that one user ?

The user's profile is different, in %USERPROFILE%\ntuser.dat.
ProcMon could show you which files and registry values were being accessed
in each case.

However, this may be just a symptom of broken Cookies.
Fiddler2 could show you the actual data being transferred
but depending on the protocol involved might cause an
incidental certificate warning.

BTW catchy handle. I can guess what your background is... ; )
