microsoft outlook network password

A newly installed outlook on windows 2000 keeps asking for a network password. I found a solution on ms.com but it involved using regedit which does not work on w2000. Here is the correct solution: http://www.newmediamusings.com/blog/2003/05/solution_to_ent.html Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 in the Open box, and then click OK. Locate and click the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider and delete the subkey folder which looks like the following: 

S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701 

So user friendly!
