Usernames and Passwords

[Jamie Zimmerman]

I need to save all of my usernames and passwords that are in the internet
explorer 6. What I mean is, I need to reformat my hard-drive and start all
over again. I want to know if I can save all of the usernames and passwords
so I don't have to re-type all them in again. I have alot of them, example
(banking, forum boards, and such). The problem is that I saved them so I
don't have to log in everytime the page is visited. I need help and need to
re-format the drive. Virus I think, having problems with the drive(slow and
acting funny), so I'm purchasing a new drive for the OS and formatting the
original drive for back up (second drive) on my PC. I want to do a fresh
re-install so I don't have problems that I had in the past.

Thanks in advance, Jamie

For security reasons, you cannot save user names and passwords.
You'll have to write them down and enter them again after reinstalling.
