It's made that way. Why? Ask Microdoft. You can't disale it. You can
remove cached credentials by hacking the registry - search Microsoft
knowldgebase if you want to know how.

> why Vista doesn't behave the same way?

Because people from Microsoft came to their senses? Just to mako things
interesting? Who knows - ask Microsoft.

> if installing SP3 on XP removes this feature?

No.

> auto-logins?

No. There is nothing in the request to distinguish cached credentials from
those entered by the user. That's the whole point of cacheing them.
