aghoffmann Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Many of the sites I visit on the internet require a log-in Username and password, and lots of sites require additional form fields to be filled in. When I log on to these site and click in a form field I usually get a drop down list of things I have entered in that field in the past. As time goes by the list gets longer primarily because of my bad typing.Is there a way to edit these entries? I suspect that there is a file that the browser uses to store these... and likely cookies may be involved.How can I go about editing the bad entries in these files?

jimras Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't know how to edit the entries, but you can delete the ones that you don't want by using just the delete key Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 To be a little more specific, most drop-down list boxes that accept user input allow you to "highlight" an entry and hit the "Delete" key to remove it (the highlight-the-entry step isn't always intuitive so I thought I'd mention it).

aghoffmann Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hitting the delete button worked like a charm. Certainly easier than tracking down and editing some mystery file.It's one of those slap on the forehead "Why didn't I try that in the first place" kind of solution!! Duh!Thanks!
