AutoComplete suggests my user ID and date of birth on the log in page of my savings account - how can I stop this?

Most of the time the AutoComplete is really useful. However, when I connect my savings account, my user ID and date of birth are available, allowing anyone on my PC to check my account (a security code is required for all transactions which does not seem to be autocomplété!) - how can I turn off this please? This started because I reset Firefox (because of the slow, such as recommended by Firefox). Thank you.

I know how you can do this:

  1. Delete an AutoComplete suggestion menu entry drop-down
  2. Disable completely auto form fill
  3. Clear all saved form autocomplete entries
  4. Entered AutoComplete clear form selected (using an add-on)

but I don't think that Firefox has a built-in feature to be selective in what he recorded in the first place.

For items numbered above:

(1) when the suggestion appears, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select the suggestion unwanted in the list and press the delete key.

See: control if Firefox automatically fills in forms.

But I don't think that this blocks Firefox to save again in the future.

(2) change your privacy settings in the Options dialog box

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > privacy

If set ' Firefox will be: remember history ' to take ' conservation rules: use the custom settings for history. " Then you can uncheck the box ' Remember search and form history.

(3) clear all AutoComplete form data saved

To clear everything, you can use:

button '3-bar' menu > history > clear recent history

If you do not see a list of check boxes, click the Details button. Deselect all categories other than "Form & Search History" for those who are kept. At the top, set the time interval, and then click clean now.

(4) clear SOME saved form autocomplete entries (when you are not currently using the form)

You need an add-on for that. In the past, I've only tried this one, but there might be other good: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

    ==============================================
    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Also... There is a link to another method
    at the end of this tutorial.

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Oooops... multiple copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7. But whenever I turn on my computer, he wants to support me on my user account name before completely loading windows. How can I stop this and simply load in thank you Windows.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

    I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

    Method 1
    Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Startup options (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

    Hi Tricsim,

    Since when are you facing this problem?

    There could be several causes for this problem; I suggest you try the following steps to correct the problem:

    Method 1: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2: Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 3: You can follow the steps described in the article below

    Error message when you log on to Windows Vista: "Windows Explorer has stopped working".
