milo -> Erasing Footprints... (4/26/2006 13:00:07)

Hi,

This isn't quite related to webdesign but has security implications.

How do erase footprints leftbehind after you enter a username & password and/or criteria left in search engine?

An example:
Username = "ABC....Z"
Password = doesn't matter

If I enter in this in once, everytime I type "A" into the input box, "ABC...Z" shows up in a list below the input box of possible (remembered) usernames that I can select.

I've tried the whole Tools>Internet Options>Delete Files & cookies & history stuff... but that doesn't fix the problem.

What is the fix? How do I reset my footprints?

thank you!

If you want to clear them all, you can go to Tools>Internet Options>Content and choose Auto Complete. From there you can clear forms and/or passwords. You will also see how you can configure for future use.

Or, if you just want to get rid of one of them, while on a page, just select it when in the drop down, and hit shift/delete.
