    Default Security issue with user Id and password

    Hello all, I'm a Realtor who utilizes our local MLS
    symstem. I have a new desktop with windows xp office.
    My problem is when I go to my MLS login page to type in
    my user id and password windows has somehow stored it
    with some type of auto-select or auto-fill. I'm trying
    to figure out how to disable that feature. If anyone can
    help me it would be most appreciated!

    Assuming you are using Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet
    Options. Go to the Content tab and click on the AutoComplete button. In
    the dialog box that pops up, you can select what (if anything) you wish
    to be remembered, and you can also clear the stored information. The
    appropriate in your case I guess would be to uncheck "User names and
    passwords" and then click on the Clear Passwords button. I hope this
    solves your issue.
