Hi!

On the Yahoo Report Abuse Websiste, I've entered probably 50 or 60 entries
that I've reported for abuse over the last few months. They're all there in
the list when I go to the text box on that page. I'll type the first few
characters, and the entire list displays from that point on. That works
well. This, I think, is the normal autosave behavior.

However, you can't select the entire list, or save it as text from what I
can tell. I need to get this entire list so I can email it to Yahoo as a
plain text list - preferably without retyping every single item in the list.

Are these stored somewhere where I can find them and extract them? I
REALLY need to get this into a text file. Might there be a utility out there
somewhere that will let me capture this list?

If it helps, I'm using IE6 on Windows XP service pack 2

Please le me know!

Thanks!
Karen

Form autocomplete data is stored, encrypted, in the registry and can't be
retrieved.

With help from someone at Experts Exchange, I found a utility that will let
you edit and export your AutoComplete data. Althought it is called IE
Password Recovery Master, there is an autocomplete edit function.

It costs about $20, but it works really well.

Thanks!
