Hi you all,

We have a security hole here to which I haven't found a solution yet.
When browsing the Internet with MSIE (5.5sp2) you have the possibility to
let MSIE remember the login data for a site you visit. That can come in
handy for some users, but... We have a general user account (sort of guest
account) for visitors who need to look something at the net. This means that
more than one person uses this account. However not everybody is bright
enough NOT to let MSIE remember the login data.

Can anyone tell me where MSIE keeps the data, and how can we remove it?

Regards,
