Information in Drop boxes

[Guest]

I would like to set it up that when I start typing in a drop box that past
entries won't pop up. I personally find it annoying and don't need them. Can
I change my computer settings to disregard this.

Drop box WHERE?

Great resource; thanks for posting.

In my "Playing Nice on Usenet"
<http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm#smart> I've always
recommended Eric Raymond's article "Ask Questions the Smart Way"
<http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>, but I like
"goodpost" better because it's shorter and clearer.

Allow me to try again, when I enter a user name into a website windows has
saved it so the next time I go it is there to retrieve. I would like to do
away with that option.

And /presumably/ we are talking about Internet Explorer? there's usually a
box to check "Remember me on this computer" or similar. Don't check it!

By "Windows" do you mean the Internet Explorer part of it?
