Microsoft Internet Explorer/autofill problem

Question
is there another way to remove the values that are stored for the form autofill option in IE6 other than going through IE options.  I have tried to do this but the values still show up in forms?

Answer
Are you using:

Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Content tab > Autocomplete button > and click the Clear Forms button?

Here is a program that will clear everything for you:

or this one:

You can also remove them one by one like this:

When you start typing in a Web form with AutoComplete enabled, you will see a list of previous entries for the same field that begin with what you've typed so far. You can select one to avoid retyping it. To see all stored entries for a field, click in that field and press the Down Arrow key. To remove an entry that is erroneous, outdated, or private, highlight it using the Down Arrow (not the mouse) and press Del.
