Change Password in XP and Lose Servers in Enterprise

I have a frustrating situation but I have been unable to
find help elsewhere on this topic. Each time I change my
password at work on my Windows XP Professional machine I
lose all the servers that I had registered in SQL
Enterprise Manager. This is very frustrating because I
have to change my password every 45 days and I have over
20 servers registered. Any ideas on how to fix this to
not lose my registrations? Please help.
thanks,
allen...It happened few times to few developers at my company. After forced to
change the password, all registered servers were gone. However we haven't
seen this come back for about 8 - 10 months. Probably a windows update or
SQL update fixed it?

use SQL authentication instead of Windows authentication for your
registration properties?
