Everytime I accidently type in my username incorrectly, it automatically becomes part of the default list. How do I delete the ones I do not want?

Also, how do I create a personal folder?

I can answer the folder part. Go to Members area- and create a topic with your username. Voila- a folder.

Allietex: I must presume you are using Internet Explorer. *IF* this is the case, click on Tools then Internet Options and you'll see the dialog box with 7 tabs accross the top. Click on the tab marked Content and click on the button marked AutoComplete.... From there, you'll see a dialog box for AutoComplete Settings and buttons for Clear Forms and Clear Passwords. Clicking Clear Forms will prompt you to Clear all previously saved form entries except passwords? Yes/Cancel. Clicking Yes should clear the 'default' list for you. You can also clear the Passwords if you wish. Once you've completed this, click Ok to finish.

Hope this helps.

Meggie asked how to do a similar thing in Netscape..... I have directed her to this thread...

Meggie - what version of Netscape are you using??

If you have Netscape 6 or later here is one suggestion....

"In Netscape (version 6 onwards) in the menu "processing/characteristic/extending/passwords" uncheck the box "passwords notice"."

What if I only have one username I want to get rid of and want to keep all the others -- is there a way to selectively do this? Registry editing or sãÑj^hing? Where is this info stored?

Ryn, I ended up finding password manager under tasks, privacy and security.

I use Netscape 6.2, on a Mac.

Of course then I read elsewhere about editing your user profile for cookies so I never have to see passwords and usernames at all! Duh. (as opposed to d'oh)

There are so many different sites--- for one--- but what if I did a type on one and I hate just seeing it as a choice all the time?!

I have no clue what you are asking Tobor7 - sorry

BTW, In IE when your autocomplete list appears, simply put the mouse over the entry you don't want and hit the DEL key. That way you can remove individual entries instead of clearing everything.

Thanks Richard. That was what I was looking for, but just could not explain it right.
