Same thing there. It is all controlled by the browser, having a web
page delete your autocomplete usernames/passwords would be quite an
security issue.

Might be some API to hook into going down the ActiveX path, but that's overkill.

Overall, I think the best would be to step back a little and consider
the design of your application and why this is a problem at all. The
AutoComplete feature is there to assist people.

This is also getting slightly off-topic considering this is the
AppFuse mailing list.

Best regards,
Stefan
