Password Questions

by kahunanui . Updated 25 years, 12 months ago

Had questions on Win95 passwords. Please note the scenario:

W95 OSR2.1 [Win95B] PEER to PEER network.
Share level access. When accessing a password protected drive or other resources, the default is “Save this password in your password list” and you must clear this box each time. Is there a way to change the default to NOT offer to save your passwords to the list, or better yet, remove this option?

After someone has mistakenly saved a password to the list, from that time onanyone using that machine can access
the resources without entering a password. Is there any way you can remove it or change it back so it will again prompt for the password? Seems like it would be a registry entry or something.
