Windows keeps on asking for my user credentials

Question

Hi.
As per subject, I keep on getting prompted to enter my user credentials whenever I open a mapped drive (which has been mapped before with the same credentials) or when I open the SharePoint site and also when
I check out and edit a document from SharePoint.
This is becoming debilitating.
I have a very lengthy password as per our policy so I'm really despondent to have to enter this password every single time I access SharePoint.
In the past, I only got prompted once during every session. Now, I get prompted multiple times a day. I will be prompted when I access SharePoint and then 10 seconds later, be prompted AGAIN when I check out and edit a document....WHAT?!
I keep on selecting the checkbox "remember credentials" but this is to no avail. I've deleted all the credentials in Credential Manager numerous times and added them manually and then again automatically, all to no avail. I've even tried multiple
entries for example "192.168.1.1" and also "http://192.168.1.1" as well as the FQDN for example "server01". So the same network resource has 3-4 different entries and none work!!
Whenever I enter my credentials and select that checkbox to remember them, I can see in Credential Manager that the respective entries gets updated but what's the point if they are never utilized?
I've also checked the services and changed the Credential Manager to start automatically without delay.
I have appealed for help elsewhere (WindowsForums, SpiceWorks, TechRepublic) but no one seems to have any definitive answers or solutions. I've been having this issue for YEARS now but want to do something about it now as it's becoming debilitating.
Please help!
Setup:
Windows 7, 64bit
Office 2010 (I'm testing Office 2013 as well)
SharePoint 2010
Service Pack 1
