Use CCleaner (install without the Yahoo toolbar) to clear this and other private data.
Use this guide to set it up, but make sure you DO check AutoComplete, even though the guide says not to.
To prevent this happening in the future, open Internet Explorer (this assumes you are using IE7 and WinXP, as that's what I have).  Go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Content.
Under AutoComplete, click Settings.
Untick User names and passwords on forms.
IE will now not remember your passwords.
Hope this helps.

I voted "i dont know".
Seriously, why is it a poll?
And why are the 3 threads you have started on different issues also all polls?
And did that solve your problem or do you need more assistance?

Devesh use "new topic " on the top right of the page instead for starting a new thread.

Password Field is autometically filled.
There are programs that do that for you. I cant remember which ones though. Try to search google for something.

    If you wanted to, you could also clear out your Cookies, because this automatically clears Auto-Save settings. You should also clear out Passwords.

    You can do this by going to:
    Tools > Internet Options > General (it's already in this tab, though) > Delete (under the sub-heading Deleting History)

    This is for IE7, but I think it might be the same for different browsers

      The poll was stupid.

      Anyway, Devesh Sharma, has anything we've said helped?
