deleting a wrong saved login?

[Jeff]

When I log in on a certain website I enter my user name and password - which
my Windows XP Home system saved for me. Now that I've changed my username
and password is there a way to delete the wrong one which keeps coming up
and confusing the situation?

Thanks.

Jeff

That is what I thought, but it does not work for me. This is a login to my
library webpage. When I drop down the list and highlight the wrong username
(actually the ID number) and press delete, it does not delete it - which is
why I was asking in case I remembered the instructions wrong. If, instead I
right click on the wrong password to see if there is an option to delete it,
it just inserts it.

I also tried the "BK SP" it did no better than when I clicked on DEL.

Don't know what is wrong. I'm using XP Home SP-2

Check the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms

(and subkeys) and see if your information is there. If so, delete there.

BK Sp is Backspace (as marked on my laptop keyboard).

However I solved the problem. The password I wanted to delete were in
Firefox, not IE and I found out how to do it from their support newslist.
Sorry to have troubled everyone.

It was my fault. The browser in question is Firefox, not IE and I found out
how to do it from their support newslist.

Sorry for the confusion.
