Prevent Internet Explorer Password Catching

When you enter your username-password pair on a password protected website on Internet Explorer, it asks you whether to save the information or not. System administrators can also prevent this password catching by following the steps below:-

1) Start > Run > "regedit" (without the quotes of course)

2) Search for, or create the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

3) Create a new DWORD value (within the above registry key) called "DisablePasswordCathing" and set its value to 1 to prevent password catching and 0 to enable it.

4) Exit the Windows registry and restart the Windows session for the change to be applied
