Disable Save Password Option in Dial-Up Networking (Windows NT/2000)

When you dial a phonebook entry in Dial-Up Networking (DUN), you can use the 'Save Password' option so that your DUN password is cached and you will not need to enter it on successive dial attempts. This key disables that option.

This tweak can be easily applied using WinGuides Tweak Manager.
