How do I remove this feature?

by stucoulthard

search the local drive for files *.pwl (password library) and delete (rename them if you want to if you dont trust me)
reboot and the annoyance should have gone

Run regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network

Create a new DWORD value of DisablePwdCaching, and set its hexadecimal value to 1.

When its hexadecimal value is set to 1, it will not prompt for, or store, a local Windows password.
