RDC6 on Windows XP not working like RDC5 did

[joe.scholefield@gmail.com]

I know this is a topic that has had a lot of discussion, but I am
really just trying to get a couple of answers here. I've read through
and done the things in this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2007/01/22/vista-remote-desktop-connection-authentication-faq.aspx

I still have the following problems:
Windows XP user trying to connect to a Windows Terminal Server 2000
using RDC6. Saved shortcut for RDC had a stored username, domain, and
password which worked perfectly up until we upgraded to RDC6 through
Windows Update. I was told we can click on the "Add Credentials"
button to save users' credentials to the machine so they don't have to
login, but this isn't even an option, it just doesn't appear. Also,
when I type in the DOMAIN\username and password and click the Save
button, it does not save.

Any suggestions?

Amongst the many comments on the Vista Remote Desktop Connection
Authentication FAQ is this one:

"The issue with saved credentials when connecting to a Windows 2000
server has been noticed and will be addressed."

and the proposed change in behaviour in the rdp 6.1 client is
documented here:

I have no information about when the rdp 6.1 client will be
released.
