    On many web pages the form fields have values that pop up based on characters typed (from previous values you have entered). Where is this information held? I've checked the registry but can't find the info there and it can't be in cookies as I clear those out periodically. Is there a special place IE or windows keeps this information. I would like to be able to delete typo values that pop up or info that is no longer relevant.

    Thx,

    To delete individual entries in the drop-down list that appears in a form field, double click in the box where you type to bring up the entire list. Then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select the one you want to delete, then press the delete key on the keyboard.

    To clear everything from all fields, in Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Content tab>Auto Complete button and click the "Clear forms" button. Click OK and OK to close out.
