    are you sure, cos when I get there it does not have the option to forget my log in name. By log in I mean like when I come here to sign on it remembers my name and I dont want it to.
    watch me be doing something silly :o

    That sounds like a totally different question. You sound like you need to delete internet cookies.

    open IE -> Tools -> Internet options -> delete cookies

    There's a saying that goes...

    Please be nice to all MoneySavers. There’s no such thing as a stupid question.

    & its at the top of every page on MSE.
