Where is the file hidden that stores the usernames or other entered
information in websites?

When I pull up certain websites that have spaces for user names and
passwords, usually when I start typing in the block, previous entered info
starts to appear that I entered before. The problem now is that when you
type fast sometimes it records the errors..

And this information stays even when I clean out the history, temp folders,
and cache.. So where is the file kept so I can delete it and start from a
 
Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > AutoComplete button (under
Personal Information) > Clear Forms / Clear Passwords buttons.
 
I am running: Win 2000 Pro IE 6.0.28 SP1

Why not just periodically delete the errors which get in your way?
Hint: use the IE Help (press F1) and search for

(autocomplete AND "web forms") AND "delete key"

That finds "Enter web information more easily" for me.
In any case see that item's second note.

BTW it was tricky getting other related but confusing items excluded
by that search. ; )
