where is autofill info stored?

Whenever I fill in a form with my email address or enter various words, the
OS offers me a list of things it thinks I am trying to type. This list
includes old email addresses that are no longer valid, misspelled words I
have typed in over the years, etc. Is there a way to edit the file where
these data are kept and clean it up? Is there a file I can delete and start
over new? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: where is autofill info stored?

No file, Two options - 1.) Clear all forms/passwords or (2.) Visit a site
when the listing appears - you can select an item and then press Delete.
Method 2 is the only way to individually manage the stored information.
From within IE, Click Tools, Internet Options, Content - AutoComplete.
You'll find a option box to remove "All" stored info.
