You can set this globally or per session. I prefer global so load it up, click Session, Advanced options (checkbox), Preferences, Preferences button... under the new windows click Integration, and check "Remember session password and pass it to PuTTY". Now if only I can figure out how to make it also call a specific PuTTY session and load my prefered profile so tunneling will work. I believe PuTTY supports receiving a parameter where it will load the matching PuTTY session. Maybe writing the WinSCP folks to add this feature...
