Connect to... dialog box

[DustinT]

When accessing a resource on a domain with a Windows XP PC that is not
connected to the domain, you are presented with a "Connect to..." dialog box
so that you can enter your username and password to access that share.

The username field seems to remember the last 5 usernames you've used so
that you can choose it from the drop-down list. Does anyone know how to alter
the contents in the drop-down list?

It doesn't appear to be stored in the Registry. Where else might these
entries be stored?

The data is stored here:
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\

I'm not looking for a lost password. I want to change the entries in the
username field that appear in the drop-down list.

I appreciate you trying to help, but as I mentioned, I'm not looking for a
lost password. I want to change the entries in the USERNAME drop-down list.

Oh, OK.

Then just open this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\

and see what you can do. If you can't figure it out, read about it here:
