The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

cached, credentials, xp, delete

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there is any way to delete the domain account login credentials that Windows XP caches. I understand that the default is up to 10 previous login account details are cached.

I don't want to turn off caching, and know that this can be done using Group Policy.

However we have a lot of laptops that have in the past been logged onto with the Domain Administrator account, and in the interests of security, I'd like to remove the Domain Administrator account details from the cache of our laptops. We only have a few so this can be a manual process if required...

My question is therefore how to do this:
- Manually edit registry? How?
- Flush all cached credentials? How?
- Use a utility - any suggestions?

Suggestions welcome!
