where about in windows are the passwords saved, logged onto a couple of sites today from a friends pc and told windows not to remember my password but it did one of the boards im a L33T member and dont want him logging on with my details so how do i get rid of them

 

Which version of Windows is it?

If it's 95/98/ME then look for *.PWL in the Windows directory. If it's 2K/XP it's done differently and I can't remember off the top of my head where they are.

 

You could try this

1. click on the 'Tools' menu, then 'Internet Options' option.
2. click on the 'Content' tab.
3. click on the 'AutoComplete' button - see new dialog.
4. click on the 'Clear Passwords' option.
Optionally, to stop this Internet Explorer from saving passwords again you can:
- ensure the 'Prompt me to save passwords' is NOT selected.
5. click OK then click OK again.

The PWL file only holds the Windows login password, not password for Internet sites.
