Make windows not remember network password?
9,739
Don't check "remember password" when you provide credentials.
To remove already stored credentials in XP and below;
control userpasswords2
The dialogue has changed somewhat in Vista/7, ("the vault") but I think it provides the same functionality.

Admin over 14 yearsthis question is not about removing networks but windows 'not remembering passwords' and the only part of your answer relevant to the question is a blatant copy ... again.

William Hilsum over 14 years@Molly, FFS.... It took me more than a minute to get all those pictures up, I started writing before... I would say more, but I really just can't be bothered.

William Hilsum over 14 years@Molly, doing the "Save this network" checkbox and then deleting the network result in the EXACT same outcome... no network remembered on disconnection.

Admin over 14 yearsit's just getting a bit obvious now, my good man. you may want to work on your style. while you were typing your answer, i'm sure you saw a popup asking you to 'Load new answer?' yet you decided to go ahead. you're around long enough to have learned how SU works. you wish to second an answer, upvote it, it's the decent thing to do.

William Hilsum over 14 years@Molly ... Your answer is one hour after BlueNovembers, he has written pretty much the same thing... Do you want me to start saying you copied him?
