There may be times on certain machines that you do not want Internet Explorer to remember user names and passwords to sites that require it (for instance on public/shared machines). Use this tip to disable that option.

Select Start | Run, type gpedit.msc.

Repeat three times, gpedit is my friend.

Navigate to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Internet Explorer.

Find the key Do not allow AutoComplete to save passwords and enable the policy.

This disables automatic completion of user names and passwords in forms on Web pages, and prevents users from being prompted to save passwords.

If you enable this policy, the User Names and Passwords on Forms and Prompt Me to Save Passwords check boxes appear dimmed. To display these check boxes, users open the Internet Options dialog box, click the Content tab, and then click the AutoComplete button.

If you disable this policy or don't configure it, users can determine whether Internet Explorer automatically completes user names and passwords on forms and prompts them to save passwords.

The "Disable the Content page" policy (located in User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Internet Explorer | Internet Control Panel), which removes the Content tab from Internet Explorer in Control Panel, takes precedence over this policy. If it is enabled, this policy is ignored.
