I used to have MSN Messenger installed, but I have now removed it.

However, despite running CCleaner and also manually deleting auto-complete history, when I try to log into my Medion router homepage, the drop-down menu includes auto-complete options for the two e-mail addresses I used to use for MSN Messenger. (Even though these addresses were never used for my Medion router page.)

Are there some auto-complete details that are not deleted by CCleaner, and is there any way to delete them entirely?

1. Try putting you mouse over (highlighting) the entry and clicking delete [edit= I mean hit delete on your keyboard].

2. You may also want to check if it is in your remembered passwords list:
Firefox: Tools, Options, Security, Show Passwords (selectively delete stored passwords)
IE: Tools, Internet Options, General, Delete, Delete Passwords (deletes ALL stored passwords)

Hope one of the ways works for you.

Hi - thanks for the advice.

However, I tried it but it hasn't helped.

Any other ideas?

Have you tried the following?

Start Internet Explorer
Click Tools
Click Internet Options
Click Advanced
Scroll down and make sure 'Use inline AutoComplete' is unchecked.

What browser are you using by the way?

Hi, and thanks for your help.

Yes - I have tried that but it still doesn't wipe the auto-complete from my Medion homepage.

I'm using the latest Internet Explorer, BTW.
