Hi,

1. To remove the ability of Windows to save your credentials when you log into a remote computer, click the Start button and enter “gpedit.msc” (without the quotes) in the Search programs and files box. When Windows finds the gpedit.msc file, either press Enter or click the resulting link. Note that this option will not be available on Starter or Home editions of Windows.
   

   
   

2. The Local Group Policy Editor dialog box displays. In the tree in the left pane, navigate to the following item: User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Services
   

3. Select the Remote Desktop Connection Client item under Remote Desktop Services. In the Setting list on the right, double-click on the Do not allow passwords to be saved setting. Selecting the Do not allow passwords to be saved settings
