Windows pgpass Problems..

I have been stuggling all day with the pgpass ability on 8.0 Postgres - on Windows 2000. I have been to the documentation:<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html> After reading many threads on similar problems, I just cannot seem to get a batch file to recognize that pgpass is there. I have dropped it into the Application data directory postgresql\pgpass.conf of 'Administrator', (My windows username), 'postgres', 'All Users', etc, etc. The contents I have tried for the pgpass file areeach of the combinations of:

localhost:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
localhost:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
..and many others

<dbusername> has been postgres and other test superuser accounts. Nothing seems to work. I have restarted postgres, restarted windows, and it simply wont take..
