Managing stored passwords in Windows

When using IE and accessing pages on the internet through a proxy or opening password protected pages, an authentication window would pop up, requesting for a username and password, along with a "Remember my password" check box.

If you do tick the "Remember my password" box, this will end up saving the password on the computer and it will be remembered "forever", unless you manage to manually clear it somehow.

There is a way in which you would be able to view/manage all the passwords that have been stored on the local machine, you would need to issue the following command at a command prompt or on the "Start" -> "Run..." window:
