Various Network or Internet applications may require a user name and password. When entering the information, a prompt comes up to have the workstation remember the user name and password if desired.

Is there a way to disable this function other than how you answer the prompt?

TO disable IE's password caching, most likely what you are looking to do:
From your browser's toolbar, click [b]TOOLS>Internet Options>[/b] click the [b]Content[/b] tab and then click the [b]Auto Complete[/b] button. Uncheck the box that says [b]Prompt[/b] to save passwords'. Restart your browser, you MAY need to reboot the machine.

For dial-up Network login you can disable the passowrd by disabling the DUN passwords through a redgedit.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters
Name: DisableSavePassword
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

After reboot, DUN will no longer disable the Save Password check box, nor will it remember any passwords set prior to this registry change.

Website passwords are usually cached by the web servers when you register or login, the save is a function of thier server, as I'm sure you already know.
