    In IE click tools>internet options>content and then click on the auto complete button. Click both the clear forms and clear passwords button. You can also delete them individually. If for instance, you type in a search term and a list of previous ones pop up, point your cursor at the one you want to get rid of (don't click on it) and press the delete key. The same should work for login screens. To get rid of the list of web addresses that appear when typing in the address bar, clear your history. Tools>internet options and on the general tab, click the clear history button.

    I misread Zander's post. Go back to Internet Options>Content>and click on the auto complete button. Uncheck web addresses. You can also uncheck the forms and usernames and passwords if you want to. Then when you clear your history those items will be deleted.

    Maybe I am not explaining this right! Example , when I go to webmail there is a sign on screen that asked for name, email address, that is and a password. In that screen if I type dolphin, it comes up with all the dolphin email address I had. I want to delete those not in use. Does this help.:confused:

    Sounds like you're talking about .net passport login names. If using XP, go to control panel>user accounts, open yours and in the upper left click 'manage network passwords'. Highlight the one you don't want and click remove.
