Ah, OK.  I started using Horde about a month or two ago, so I'm still  
trying to catch up with the history of it.  I know the devs don't want  
people to use auto-logon after the browser closes, but almost every  
web site out there has a checkbox to allow it.

Thank you for the response and information to the code.
