XP usernames

[NewsEditor]

Because of my work I manage a number of email addresses, some of which are closed down when a project ends. I've noticed that everytime I go to a web page where a username is required, such as hotmail, and I double-click in the username diaglog box XP pops up all the usernames that have ever been entered there. While this is quite useful for current usernames, it's really irritating that the deleted account usernames also appear. I'm not a Windows expert, just forced to use it for work and I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me how to manage this situation better, or to turn off the feature that remembers usernames in the first place. It can also be embarrassing with clients because the usernames give away who else I am working for if they happen to be looking over my shoulder!
Thanks to anyone who can help

That feature is called "AutoComplete". You can disable it by

Open Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced. Uncheck "Use inline AutoComplete".

Also look at Tools--> Internet Options --> Content tab

You can disable parts of it there as well as clear the current list of names

Also if memory serves me correct when you get the list of names, if you highlight a name and hit the delete button you will delete it.

At least it works that way in windows98SE
