I think you are confusing server-side configuration with client-side
configuration. pg_hba is *only* parsed by the server, and the client has
no effect on it at all.
It looks a lot like you have a pgpass.conf file on your Windows machine,
possibly created by clicking "save password" in pgAdmin III. See
