Well, I guess when I hear cached credentials I think of AD and how it uses them, not in a local account sense - your goal is to not have to have the user enter a password or have it stored anywhere in plaintext?
In XP you can store credentials for network access (shares, etc.. look in the User Account applet) but I'm not sure how that would work with a runas... So that exact command from your earlier post is the same one that worked before the systems were joined to a domain, and it didn't ask for a password?
