Windows 7 Pro Clearing Cached Credentials To Force Re-authentication?
Feb 2, 2012
The situation: Using windows explorer to access a shared network resource, for example, \blahfolderfolder2 - the first time I try this on a new installation, it requires authentication (user/pass) which I provide (this is on a workgroup, not a domain).That's fine. The goal: I want a way to force Windows 7 Pro to forget the authentication and ask for a new authentication next time an access is attempted for that share. Here's what I have tried, and what has not worked: Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Disconnect Network Drive (it doesn't work because there is no mapped network drive to disconnect; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication) From command prompt (run As administrator): rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr -- Then select any network share to clear credentials for, then click delete button. (no network shares listed; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication)
From command prompt (run As administrator): net use * /delete /yes
(
nothing happens; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication) From command prompt (run As administrator): control userpasswords2
Go to advanced tab, click on manage passwords. This brings up the credential manager (can also get to credential manager directly from control panel). Find credentials to delete (windows, certificate-based, or generic) - there are currently none listed, though there had been earlier, and all were deleted. No change; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication. From command prompt (run As administrator): secpol.msc
Go to security settings -> local policies -> security options -> Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.
Enable it. Exit and reboot. No change; next connection attempt does not ask for authentication. I have tried all of these with or without rebooting immediately after.

I have been using windows 7 ultimate 64bit and have noticed in task manager that 28% of my ram is being used and with further looking I noticed most of this ram was under cache. Does windows 7 cache applications I use most frequently into ram?

This morning i noticed that my computer is running slow so I opened Task Manager and found out that cached memory is taking up 5 gbs of my ram soon programs start shutting down and i have to reboot. Cached memory progressively increases until it fills up all my ram. Safe mode works just fine though.

If a user has their Outlook profile set to NOT use Cached Exchange Mode, and attempts to send an email from a mailbox they've been delegated access to, the message ends up "stuck" (for a lack of a better term) in the user's own Outbox and never leaves the Outbox, or moves to the Sent folder.We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 on site, and our clients are connecting to Exchange via Outlook 2010 SP1.

I had 2 computers last week with auto updates on, mcafee vse 8.7i enterprise administered through epo. get a failure to authenticate windows. Ran MS offline scanner, no malware, multiple warnings not a legal windows installation, update fails, system restore fails, then reboot and bsod. No f8 for safe mode. The only 2 win 7 computers with auto updates turned on exhibited this behavior. Complete reinstall of course, anyone else have the same problem?

On my laptop (running Win 7), I made 2 accounts, Admin and a standard user. When I am logged into the standard user, if i try to do something that needs elevated privileges such as deleting an icon, or installing a .exe file, the UAC will prompt me for Admin credentials which I will type in. However, on my desktop (Windows 7 Ultimate) I am trying to delete icons on the standard user account and it will NOT prompt for credentials. It will give me an error that says I do not have the correct privileges to do this (which I know I don't).

I have built a new PC, I had it working at the start. for couple of days. i started then to update and install drivers off the chipset support disc. I have a ASUS P5G4IT-M, the installion of these drivers seemed to go alrite. Then when I downloaded the updates through windows and tried to restart the PC it wouldn't restart. i tried repairing the error. The first time it said windows had repaired the errors but it still didn't work. so i tried it again, it keeping saying that I recently attached a device to the computer, such as a camera or portable music device. which i didn't. then i says remove and restart. When i restart after the windows repair it goes down the list of files loading in safe mode and it stops when loading some of the drivers. Is there some way of clearing this error or wiping the memory off my hardrive and loading windows again onto the PC??

I currently am doing file sharing through Samba. My Samba server is running on Fedora Core 8, and I am trying to access the network drive through Windows 7. I can map a network drive to Samba, and I can view and share my files fine.
The problem I am having is that I always ask it to save my login credentials (which are different than my Windows 7 login credentials), and it never does. I have to map the network drive each time I boot up my computer again.
how to permanently keep these settings so I do not have to map this each time I start the computer?

I can't find this as I dunno how to explain it for googling. unless I get irrelevant answers! When I clear my browser (IE9) cache, cookies etc, whether via ccleaner or the delete browsing history general tab, I get an annoying voice telling me "how to clear cache, then cookies etc" whenever I open a new window or most new tabs for a sometime afterwards, eventually it stops occuring, obviously fed up with me hitting the mute button, I've checked the audio settings in the ease of access center in control panel, all off & ok, the voice is different anyway.

Ihave tried re-formating an sd card whith photos on it, but they are still there, even though the card says "no images" Could it be because I downloaded from my PC to the card rather than writing the images from the camer? If so, how do I delete them?

I would like to authenticate to a domain server without actually joining the domain. The reason is that I would like to use the central password database, but I still want to run my own machine and not be limited by all kinds of policies.

In the past two days a tremendously annoying popup window has started showing up about every minute and a half. It is labeled "Xmarks Authentication" and it asks for a username and a password. I don't have any idea where it came from. I have run a McAfee scan with no result, and have searched the hard drive for "Xmarks*" and found nothing.

as a person uses different websites, a username and password often times populate in the login form (at least for username). How does a person clear all of that data from their browser where past usernames or passwords don't show up. I use firefox and IE as my browsers but pretty much just firefox on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

I've been trying for several months to solve this problem. I have a home office network with a Debian Linux server, which I'm using as a calendar/file/print server, two Linux laptops, one XP machine and one laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, which came preinstalled on the laptop.When I try to access the shares on the Debian machine, I keep getting authentication failures. I've tried my Windows username/password, my Linux username/password, and even created new users on both systems to try different solutions. All the computers are able to print through the Debian server. However, file sharing using the Debian machine as a Samba server does not work on the Windows 7 laptop. It works fine with all the other computers in the house. I've tried a registry hack, setting LMCompatibilityLevel to both 1 and 2, checked and rechecked my Samba configuration, even tried resetting the clock?

I am able to connect from XP to a network share at my workplace by giving login/password. However, when I try to connect from Windows 7 i get the error: "specified authentication package is unknown"
However, I am able to connect to another shares. From XP no one is having any problems in connecting to this share at all. Have googled but to no avail. Found one suggestion to add 'authentication packages' key to registry but it was already present in my Win 7 and with the correct value.
Any help would be appreciated as I am at my wits end with this issue. Win 7 is working flawlessly otherwise. Much much better than XP. Vista was pretty much unusable on my laptop (HP TC 4400 tabletpc)

When I'm away from my home office, I like to use Remote Desktop Connection to log on to 3 of my home computers. I have done this before without problems, but this time I found that I could connect but the remote computer would not accept my login even though I was using a user name and password that I knew worked for logging on locally. I was going to come here for help, but I figured out what the problem was before hand, so I thought I would post what happened just in case someone else runs into this problem.
The problem was that I had gone to the control panel and changed the username from what I had used when the OS was installed. This is a no-no because some aspects of the original user name are permanent. I accidentally discovered this when I went to computer management and clicked on local user and groups and saw two different names. One under column name, and the other under column full name. When I changed the full name back to the same as name, everything then worked fine with RDC.

One of the network drives is on an XP machine the other is a NAS.Everytime I access the XP drive I am asked for username & password even though everytime I enter it I tick the "Remember my credentials" box.Is there something else I need to do in order for Windows 7 to stop prompting me ?

I tried running a program or bot on my Windows 7 Installation a few days ago. I assumed that the program would actually own the credentials of me since I was running it, but sadly that was not right as the program proceeded to tell me that it couldn't write to files. Which I found odd as I myself could both open then, read, add and then save with the changes remaining.
I had to actually add myself to the folder with "Full Control" before the program could run without any error. Now is it I ask, Why is that even required?. I thought it was implied that if I can access the folder, read and write to and from it, that any programs I run can do the same.
At least thats how it worked under XP, but yes I am aware that security has been tightened in both Vista and Windows 7. But seems rather useless having to assign myself to a folder I got access to already, before a program I run can access it.

I have looked all over the internet and these forums for an answer before I posted this. I can find little pieces of help here and there but not fully what I need. I need help writing code in a batch file that will allow me to automatically save the event viewer logs to a certain location with a certain file name and then clear the log out of event viewer.
1. I have 6 logs, Application/Security/System/DNS Server/Microsoft Office Diagnostics/Microsoft Office Sessions
2. I would like these logs to be saved with the building name that the servers are located in, also including the date that it was cleared and which log it was
3. Example of saved log name: "Bldg 248 16Nov12 Application" (date can also be in 20121116 format)
4. Logs need to save to My Documents Folder

I screwed up today. While meaning to delete files from AppDataLocalTemp, I accidentally deleted (many) from AppData. [Sidebar: Is there any way to configure the file explorer such that deleting from the folder view is disabled?] After a brief panic, I downloaded (from another machine) the utility Recuva64 and restored the missing files to a separate drive, after which I copied them back to where they belong.
But, there was a problem - I could not copy files from the recovered folder Credentials to LocalAppDataCredentials. Even stranger, I did not have permission to view the security credentials of LocalAppDataCredentials. I tried booting to safe mode to fix this, but both folders were gone - the recovered one as well as LocalAppDataCredentials.
So, my system is up and running, but the folder LocalAppDataCredentials is missing. I tried using Recuva64 again, but it did not find the folder. I also looked in an older backup of my profile, but again, I did not see the folder. The folder does, whoever, exist on my notebook (but whose to say if the information is consistent).
