Where is the file hidden..

[Guest]

Where is the file hidden that stores the usernames or other entered
information in websites?

When I pull up certain websites that have spaces for user names and
passwords, usually when I start typing in the block, previous entered info
starts to appear that I entered before. The problem now is that when you
type fast sometimes it records the errors..

And this information stays even when I clean out the history, temp folders,
and cache.. So where is the file kept so I can delete it and start from a
nice clean slate..?

You will loose all your passwords, I don't think you can selectively
edit the list. The passwords are encrypted in a registry key, I'm not
sure which key. If you search the net you will find third party
products that claim to be able to reveal and edit the contents of the
encrypted key.

By the way Jay, if you want you can use

to make a back up of password and usernames for future use.
