How can I clear saved passwords/form information from within Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer


(IE) has a neat feature--Autocomplete--that remembers previous answers to password prompts/forms and automatically fills them in on subsequent visits. If you want to clear this information, perform the following steps:
 

1. Start IE.
2. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3. Select the Content tab.
4. Click Autocomplete.
5. Click "Clear Forms" if you want to remove all information except passwords. Click "Clear Passwords" to  clear only passwords.
6. Click OK to the confirmation.
7. Close all dialog boxes

The actual information is stored in a protected portion of the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider\[SID of the user]\Data. However, a user can't view the information (although as an Administrator you can change the ACL via regedt32.exe to have a look). For example, in the screen shot below, you can see my (encrypted!) password to the MSDN download area.

PDF to Word Doc Converter

Everyone uses Adobe Acrobat to send documents these days. Too bad for the maker that people never say, "Hey, acrobat that document to me." In any case, when you receive one and want to edit it, unless you own the full Adobe Acrobat, which is quite expensive, you cannot. You could try copying and pasting the content, but you lose much of the sweet goodness of the original that way.

Now there is hope for those who don't own the full Adobe program. The aptly named Free PDF to Word Doc Converter will do the job for you by extracting "text, images, shapes from PDF file to Word Doc file and preserve the layout. It can convert all the pages, or any pages range of the PDF file."
