Usually your Notes administrator will help setup and configure this feature for you, but if you find yourself without such resources and keep getting weird warnings saying your Windows login and Notes password are out of sync, this is probably the cause. For instance, I first installed this feature when I began testing Lotus Notes 6 but later disabled it because I didn't want to use it anymore. Also keep in mind when you use this feature that it is best for a user that uses only a single ID with a single location. If you often have to use multiple IDs and switch between a lot of different locations you might not want to use this feature.
