Disabling "Remember My Password"

I have set up a limited user account on a PC with Windows XP Pro. The username will be shared amongst several staff who will log on to the PC to access their email via Outlook Web Access. The PC will not be on a domain.
The sticking point is the "Remember my password" tick box when they open OWA. I want to either remove or disable it so that noone can enter and save their user name/password and thus allow everyone else to access their emails.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Open the Internet Options dialog (from IE choose the Tools\Internet Options
menu) and select the Content Tab. Click the Autocomplete tab and uncheck the
'User names and passwords on forms' checkbox. While you are there press the
Clear Passwords button to make sure you have not left anything hanging
around that a malicious intrusion may find.

Hope that helps,

Erik
 
Thanks for that. The solution you propose works for stopping users log on to web sites but not sites that link through to a server, in this case Exchange 2003. The passwords I need to stop being saved are network passwords that when saved would be kept in the "Manage my network passwords" section of the User Account window.
