Clear login for FTP

[DumbQuestion]

dumb question from dumb person. Im running out of places to turn for help and I thought Id try here so please forgive me for coming here if the question is not wanted.

I wanted to log into my ftp but I only typed in ftp://ftp on IE

I didnt finish typing in the ftp to what I wanted to access. So I clicked on file and clicked on login and typed in my login name and password. Of course I got the no access box and clicked ok on that box whatever.

I went to the login screen again clicking file and login but I noticed my login name was still in the box. I treid deleting it but no luck. I did everything youre suppose to do to delete trail like going to auto complete and clearing forms. My login name is still in the box. I tried adding a few numbers to try and bump my login out of it but it just keep adding. Now the box is flooded with numers and letters but my log in is till in the list and it created a scrool bar. So bumping the login is out of the question.

Is there some way to clear that box. Like I said Ive tried everything on IE to clear it out. there has to be some way to get rid of my login name in that box. Its the box that says ...login or log in anonymously...save password

anyone who can tell me how to clear it please help me. Ive tried aol chats and window chats and other message boards but still no luck.

thanks

Try clearing history, delete cookies, delete files (in the same box as delete cookies. under Content "clear SSL state", and Autocomplete-->Clear Forms, Clear passwords.

hard candy's advice is probably going to do you fine, but check out the forums link in my sig:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I mod over there, too. If you need Windows help, I honestly think that TechTalkForums is a great resource.

Just suggesting this, so you don't have to ask inappropriate Windows questions in a Linux forum ;)

Yeah... it'd probably be better to post it there, anyways. There's a forum specifically for Internet Explorer.

That's probably because you are like me, if I had to choose a forum administrator to take on a date, I would definitely choose Daniweb's administrator over bproffit. (Although bprofiit probably does look kind of cute in a bathing suit). :D
And it is a nicely run forum, looks like one that is on the way up in membership.
