Clearing of Forms

Hi, whenever I go into some website with forms that
require sign-in, there is a small menu which appears
asking for a user name and password. (On this form, there
is a picture of two keys)

The problems is that previously I signed into my
microsoft messenger using my e-mail address which is my
hotmail log-in. Now whenever I go into sites with this
sign-in form as illustrated earlier, one of the username
that can be selected from the pull down bar is my
messenger e-mail.

I would like to clear my e-mail address from this pull
down bar but am not succesful. I have gone into the
option to clear the forms and password but to no avail.
Can anyone help cause I don't want users from my computer
to see my hotmail email address.

I have tried as suggested to open the form field and
delete but it does ot work. Is there a file in Windows or
IE directory where the log-in can be deleted ?
 
Calvin,
I think you've tried this first suggestion, but...
Try clicking or double-clicking or typing the first letter in the "name"
field. If autocomplete gives you a dropdown box with suggested usernames,
select the correct name (just put the pointer on it) and hit the delete key.
Then delete any cookies from the affected site.
Close IE. Open IE.

And you tried clearing all passwords from IE> Tools> Options> Content>
Autocomplete> Clear
Passwords, right?

Protected Storage PassView from http://www.webattack.com/get/pspv.shtml will
let you delete selected username/password combos.

Finally... using registry editor to export (just to have it backed up) then
delete this registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ IntelliForms\SPW]
should clear all username/password data. Delete only the SPW key- not the
IntelliForms key.

Hope this helps,
Don
