Posted on May 8, 2009 by mvalk

With th ecommand: rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr, you wil open up the Stored Credentials Cache of Windows.

You can now clear your stored credentials with this tool.

Note: it also works in Windows 7 en 2008. See comments.

You might want to specify that this only works in Windows XP and (presumably) earlier – you have Windows 7 appearing as a tag, but the command linedoes not work in Win7 (I would suspect that the same is true of Vista, but haven’t proved that).

Thanks

Hi Grady,
thx for your comment.
As I see it… the post isn’t tagged windows 7 but just windows (honest I did not change it in the mean time).
I wish it was tagged windows 7, because that would mean I had some super contacts inside microsoft…. the post is from may 8th 2009, Windows 7 was released Oct. 22 (RTM: july 22)

However, you are right that I can edit the post, and state that it only works in Windows XP and (presumably) earlier.
