Hello,

I would like to ask about IE stored passwords.
There are allot of passwords [email accts, newsgroups etc'] stored on my machine and i would like to remove them .

I tried to use the "Clear passwords" [under internet options] but i can still see the old passwords with "Internet Explorer Password Revealer".

Where does IE store those passwords anyway ? can i manually remove them from the registry or whenever it is being stored ?

Thanks guys [as always] :-),
Elad.

Did you try removing all your cookies (back them up by exporting them to a file on your desktop first ... just in case)

see this artice on how to remove windows hidden files and caches:

because of auto censorship, the url gets mangled, so i had to put a space in after the f. you should remove it when you enter the url.
