    In IE 6, login and passwords can be stored (dould click on a field) for each url. Where are they stored and how can I remove / edit them one url at a time.:confused:

    I don't think you can clear them one URL at a time.
    You can clear them all though - "Tools ", "Internet Options ", click on the "Content" tab and then choose "Auto Complete... "

    Personally I don't use Auto Complete for anything other than web addresses and have disabled the ability to store usernames and passwords on many of the networks that I look after. It is too much of a security risk especially with online banking and other sensitive sites.

    I would prefer not to remove all entries. This is a lab PC which is used for product testing and was curious where this info was stored and if it could be changed.

    Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5 or later) has an AutoComplete feature that helps you
    fill in Web-based forms. If the feature is enabled, each time you submit data in a form, the
    information is encrypted and stored on your local machine. The next time you encounter a form
    field with the same internal field name, IE tries to complete that field automatically. As
    soon as you type a letter that matches the beginning of any recorded value for that field, IE
    displays a list of possible values from which you can choose. To see all saved values, you
    press the Down Arrow.

    The Internet Options applet in Control Panel lets you turn AutoComplete on and off and clear
    all its recorded data. It doesn't, however, let you clear form fields selectively or view the
    stored data. This issue's utility, AutoWhat? 2, fills the gap. With AutoWhat? 2, you can view
    what's stored for each input field name, delete incorrect values, and preload the system with
    additional values.

    AutoWhat? was originally released as a PC Magazine Extra utility in November 1999. Version 2
    adds support for Windows NT–based operating systems. AutoWhat? 2 requires Internet Explorer 5
    or later and runs under Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.

    click on the box where your name is stored. Click again and it should drop down . Put arrow on name to highlight it and hit delete key. A box may appear stating that you have a password saved for this name and ask if you want to delete. Click yes.
