    Hi all,

    I am looking for a way to delete some of the text in the login or search fields in the browser. Is there any easy way of doing this... rather than just wiping the whole thing via clearing all forms?

    Thanks,

    JC

    You can selectively clear it to a certain extent. You can clear certain types of entries, for example, clear passwords, or clear forms, but you can't clear certain entries of a particular type while leaving others.

    To do this, right click on Internet Explorer's Desktop Icon.
    Left Click "Properties "
    Click the "Content" tab
    Click the "Auto Complete" button and choose what you want to keep and what to delete

    When the auto complete box pops up with word options, highlight and press the delete key on the ones you want to get rid of.
