That security info is stored in the user account logged in. Their is a way to see and delete those entries but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. But I'm lookin', its actually a tool in windows.

Anybody remember what I'm talkin about.

You can go to "tools" --> Security (tab)--> click "Custom level" and the last option should be "User Authentication" you could click prompt for user name and password.... or you could delete your saved passwords in the general tab...

Neither of those options work. Clearing the passwords in the general tab clears passwords for sites, not proxy authentication. Dito on custom security level.

I'm still trying to find where windows store this password.

In Windows Vista, go to Control Panel \ User Accounts, there is an option called "Manage your Network Passwords". It will show you a list of logon credentials including saved passwords of web sites, you will find there the proxy authentication.

In other Windows versions, I'm not sure but is good choice to search in the same place.
