First of all make sure that you have cleared the AutoComplete
passwords field. If you haven't done that you won't have removed
the pairs of items (userid/password) which can be saved from web
pages. Also since you are having difficulty with it I would try closing
all iexplore.exe windows and use the equivalent AutoComplete settings
dialog from Control Panel's Internet Options applet. To doublecheck
I verify using Task Manager that iexplore.exe is not an active process
in the Processes tab. (E.g., press Ctrl-Shift-Esc,Ctrl-Tab,i,i...)

However, I'm not sure that this would remove stored user names
from sources other than HTML forms. E.g. when I press F1 (Help)
on that Clear Passwords button it explicitly mentions only "web pages".
I suspect that user names and passwords entered into authorization
dialogs may be treated differently even though by being saved
they do seem to be related to AutoComplete somehow.

Therefore, if using the Clear Passwords button (in the safe manner
I suggested) doesn't change your symptom I would try using RegMon
to find out where those entries are coming from. In NTx they are stored
in an inaccessible subkey. Don't be surprised if you find it simpler just
to rebuild the user's profile to get rid them than try to figure out
if there is a more direct method of removing entries which have been
accumulating over the course of the profile's existence.

Hmm... maybe you could even try copying some of the old data too...

<TITLE>811151 - How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile</TITLE>

There is one other possibility that I once mentioned speculatively
and still don't know more about but it would at least give you another
research angle. I think that the information may be maintained by
the Protected Storage service. So information about repairs
or resets for it could apply as a solution for your problem.

BTW most of this is slightly off-topic for this newsgroup (ie6.browser)
so you may want to wait for comments from your other newsgroup
in your cross-post.

Good luck
