The spaces sounded like a great solution! Sadly, my ISP is a bit less accepting. The problem only occurs in Dial-up Connection, so I usually use a shortcut I've made called Connect [name of ISP]. That one does remember my password correctly. Still, it would be nice if the pop-up connection box worked...!
