Clearing Usernames

To let you understand, this PC is used by various family members.
When signing into some sites that i am a memeber off, on singning in and by typing in username/email addy a whole list of everyone's comes up, how can i clear them as it's annoying!
Tried ccleaner, deleting cookies etc but still no joy.

Any help on this please?

Thanx in advance.

But first, the most asked question:

Q "Is anything worn under your kilt???"

A "No. Everything is in perfect working order Thank You!!."

  • I have a product called historykill that does exactly that. That is the only way of doing it appart from editing the registry that I'm aware of. Problem is, my old version was freeware, but now you only get a 15 day trial.

    Hope someone else knows something better, as I would be interested.

    If your using Internet Explorer:-

    On the menu bar click 'Tools'

    Click 'Internet Options'

    Click the tab that says 'content' on the box that just appeared

    Click the 'Autocomplete...' button that appears

    Click 'Clear Forms'

    Click OK, OK, OK

    Finished!!

    This should solve your problem but give you another! This being that some members of your family may like using this option and may become a bit distressed at first that it's gone.

    To delete only a particular username, move to it with mouse or arrow keys to highlight it and then press Delete key. Repeat as required for other usernames and web sites.
