Delete some (but not all) of the Autocomplete patterns in InternetExplorer?

[Carl Meadows]

As well known IntExp remembers Autocomplete texts/patterns internally.
If I enter e.g. a user name in a login field the first time this user name
is shown the next time when I visit the web page again and start to enter the user name.

Ok, I could delete ALL autocomplete patterns through the preferences.
But is there a way of deleting only a few certain patterns (e.g. in the registry) ?

Where are autocomplete patterns stored?

Highlight the selection > Delete.

They are encrypted in the Registry and may be of little use.

AutoComplete, User Names and Passwords on Forms:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW

AutoComplete, Web Addresses:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System
Provider\<user name or windows logon name>

Some autocomplete entries can be deleted if you move the highlight to
them when they drop down and press the Delete key.

Exactly what do you want to delete? Some is editable in the registry, some
is encrypted and uneditable.
