IE v6.0.2900...

Where does IE store autocomplete values? Is it possible to edit or delete
some of the values? I do not wish to turn off autocomplete or start fresh.
I just have a bunch of old, obsolete values that really need to go.

Thanks
 
Hi,
You can't selectively clear URLs from IE history- you can only clear them
all.

For search terms (for example) select one in the autocomplete drop-down list
(just put the pointer on it) and hit the Delete key.

For username/password combinations, selecting the username in the
autocomplete drop-down list and hitting the Delete key should delete the
entry.
