Clear the credential cache for RDC

Tags: Remote Desktop Connection
I was wondering how to clear the credential cache for a remote desktop connection on a thin client. Everytime you start it, it comes up with credentials that were used before the image was taken. I would like to remove this information so everytime the client starts up the thin client the RDP box is blank. Can anyone help?

Before signing up for the Free Trial I had been doing what is suggested - HOWEVER - the procedure described doesn't clear the list of *User Names* in the Remote Desktop Connection. I have made an image of what is my annoyance - I am sure others have the same problem:

Any hints? To the left? Not so...what about this road? Maybe over there? Don't tell me to pull over and take IT! :)

if you are using RDP 6.0, you can delete credentials from RDP software (see in attached image)

Also you can disable promt for credentials:
edit saved .rdp file i nnotepad and put:
enablecredsspsupport:i:0

This option also disables support for Network Level Authentication for Vista (and Longhorn Server) RDP connections. But if you need Network Level Authentication from RDP, you can clear drop-down usernames history from registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\UsernameHint]
