I have a PC that connects to a share on another PC. We
want the user to type in a password every time she
connects to the share so that once she logs off, somebody
can't get on the PC & access that share. However, last
time the password got input, the 'Save Password' check box
was left checked.

So how do I get that password to not be save on her PC
anymore? I think I can delete her password file (*.pwl),
but is sure seems to me that there should be a way
to "unsave" the password.

If you have Windows 98 Second Edition, there's no need to delete the
password file. To "unsave" just that one password, use the Password
List Editor, which is in the Tools\Reskit\Netadmin\Pwledit folder on
the Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM.

To disable password saving:

1. Run the registry editor.

2. Open this key:

HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Poli cies\Network

3. Create a DWORD value named "DisablePwdCaching" and set it to 1.

4. Reboot.
