pcAnywhere Quickconnect always asks for credentials

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi All,
Every time we want to take over a remote PC using pcAnywhere Quickconnect (Version: 12.5.0.675), we have to enter our credentials (username, password, domain).
Is there a way to avoid this? Is it possible to have PCA remembering these paramters at lease during the Windows session?
Thanks for your answers.
Kind regards
Koen

This will only preserve credentials for the host you are connecting to but if you connect to another system you will have to re-enter your credentials for each host but if you preserve credentials for each host you won't have to re-enter them again for that one.
Sorry for recycleing a screen shot but if you select options then you can see where you can preserve your credentials in the secion below. (not the deploy host I had in this recycled screen shot but hopefuly you get the idea)

Hi Koen,
Take a look at the following tool and features:

Unfortunately i would have to agree with Dawi_x. my desktop colleagues use the diagnostic tool to get around the shortcomings of the agent and the constant being prompted for credentials.

Dawi_x, we have distributed this tool to all the IT staff, works like a charm. We also will enjoy the extra features of this tool. Thanks!
@JimChud: why is it "Unfortunate"??? This looks like a good tool...
Koen,
Its unfortunate that the base product is fairly poor and we have to use this third party tool to get around the obvious short comings in the PCA product.
Dont get me wrong i like the tool and it works great. When we found the tool we thumbs up'd the thread and we actively use it.
I just find disappointing that Symantec haven't really realised what the user base want and need.
Regards Jim.
