While I love IE's password caching feature, sometimes it's not appropriate with a public computer or one that is used by many people. For instance, when I used to live at home with my parents, I disabled IE's password caching feature simply because I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing (I'll leave it up to you to guess what).<BR><BR>Thankfully, with a simple registry tweak the password caching feature can be disabled. Load up regedit (Start, Run then type regedit and press ok) and follow this path. HKEY_CURRENT_USERS -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings. Inside there you want to create/modify the DisablePasswordCaching DWORD value to 1 which will disable that feature (default is 0).<BR><BR>Reboot and you're set! This works with all versions of Windows and IE5+.<BR>
