You can also have the auth folder deleted on logoff, not just reboot:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug.html#tsvn-dug-general-auth

  Some people like to have the authentication data deleted when they log
off Windows, or on shutdown. The way to do that is to use a shutdown
script to delete the %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth directory, e.g.

@echo off
rmdir /s /q "%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth"

You can find a description of how to install such scripts at
http://www.windows-help-central.com/windows-shutdown-script.html .
