Thanks, FL310. It's only the e-mail log on that I want to set straight, I have a different logon and password for pprune itself.
What is happening - and I'll try to make the explanation simple - is that my original logon details for e-mail which I ticked for the computer to remember, will not go away. Sometimes when I log on to my server and open pprune mail, I get the "screen" I want with two blank fields. When I type in the first letter of my logon, one choice automatically appears. I click on this and it is entered into the first field. The second field remains blank and into this I enter my password. This field does NOT automatically complete itself which is exactly how I want it.
At other times when I log on to the server and open pprune mail, I get another opening "screen". I know this because when I type in the first letter of my logon, it presents me with TWO choices. I know that this is my original information (which I ticked for the computer to remember) because the second choice is a spelling mistake which I made the first time I used the e-mail service and I never discovered how to delete it. (The box is now unticked.)
I "select" the username and it is entered into the first field but the second field in this case is NOT blank, it contains little stars for the password. This is, however, my NEW password which I definitely do not want to appear. The box remains UNTICKED to tell the computer I don't want this information retained.
So, I'm not quite sure what has happened. On the one screen I have to enter the password as I should but on the other, which I want to get rid of, the password is there and it shouldn't be as the memory box is unticked.
I did the "delete cookie" thing you described and it hasn't made any difference.
I am using Windows 98 and Internet Explorer ... is this any help???
