Hello staffsman.....I have moved this thread into the Web Browsing board as I suspect that the problem lies in your browser rather than in Windows.
In Chrome, go top right hand corner and click on the spanner icon...then go options>minor tweaks>and check the option "never save passwords" .....also when you are there click on the tab "show saved passwords" and whatever you find in there, delete.
Then go options>under the bonnet>privacy>content settings>cookies>....and click on "remove all"
Does that do the trick ?
Hi Tuftedduck, thanks for the tip, unfortunately it doesn't help. She has no saved passwords. It's not passwords we are trying to get rid of and I knew it would be difficult to explain. When she puts in the passwords the letter/number combinations can be seen in the password box however when she has to put in the password again at a later date up pops the numbers again.
When I log on to my email account the same thing happens.. I type in the first couple of letters and up pops my log in details.
As I say, that's not a problem for me but the details that appear on the laptop are more important and should be secret. The worry is that, should the laptop be stolen or lost who ever looks at it will quite easily be able to find whatever has been typed in before. It's like a drop down that show a few different numbers most of which are quite sensitive. To go back to my email analogy, I have a number of different email addresses and when I start to log in up pops some choices for instance
*******@yahoo.co.ck
*******@bt.co.uk
*******@hotmail.com
My wife gets
123456
236514
654321
and that is what she want to stop.
any ideas?
