There is a hidden file in registry that is hidden to the average eye. It saves all password that are used in a protected password site. It is called protected storage. How do you get rid of it or stop it from saving everything. I know about the software called Protected storage passview, but that doesn't stop it from saving it just lets you know what is in the file. And are there anymore hidden stuff microsoft and ie use?

What if you were actually asking this question to gain access to someone's passwords. To me this isn't the type of question that should be asked or answered on this forum.
