When you share a folder on a Windows 95 machine and put a password on it each time there after if someone accesses it over a network it askes for a password which is good. What is bad is it also defaults with a check mark in the box before the line "do you want windows to remember this password".We would like to change the settings to make it default to no check mark in the box that way you would have to physically put a check mark in the box to make it remember the password. We want windows toask for a password each time the file is accessed. Please explain how this can be done.

Run Regedit.exe
1.Get to Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]

2.Create Value with name(without the brackets):
[DisablePwdCaching]
Value should be of REG_DWORD Data Type (DWORD Value)
Value Datameaning is: (0 = disabled, 1=Enabled)

3.Set it to 1(enabled)

4.Restart your computer to allow the setting take effect

Hope this helps.

Start Regedit.exe
Drive down to Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]

Make a new key "DisablePwdCaching"
Use DWORD Value of 1

Reboot

Inn order to disable password caching, you must do this:
Start Regedit.exe
Go to Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Network]

ADD a new key named "DisablePwdCaching"
Assign to DWORD Value of 1
And then reboot

Good luck
