HELP!!! I am not a computer wiz so I need a little help from anyone who might be. Here's what's happening...whenever I'm trying to send an email, for example, I will type in the email address I'm sending to...say the email address is abcd@yahoo.com. When I type in the 'a' a 'drop down box' shows up with all the other email addresses I've sent to that start with the letter 'a' (and if I clicked on one of those email addresses it would auto fill into the send to spot). When I type in the subject of the email the same thing happens. How do I stop that from happening? My H used to use this computer to correspond with OW and her email address is always showing in the drop down box when I send to others with the same first letter as hers and I'm having the pleasure of rereading the subject lines he sent to her (and they are very strong triggers...I read a lot of his emails so when I see the titles it's like reading them again). I've cleared the history and the cookies and tried to delete files from the temporary internet files (not even sure what that is) but none of those things have worked. Any advice on how to get fix this????

What email client do you use? They all store info in different little places.

Depending upon which account... but most accounts, if you go to Tools/Options and look around in there re storing addresses or drop downs or something like that -- you can tell it to stop.

Sorry computer wiz... NOT ! Try going into the address books and delete her E-mail name .

When drop down of the names come up highlight only the one you want and if the rest show just backspce all them out till ya get the one you want .Other than that sorry nothing comes to mind .

Please read ARKS post to you even print it out and read it again , that is what I did .

Theres alot in there , and one thing I have had On my mind is about the unhappiness about yourself before H came into your life , its like a bandaid , thats how I am starting to look at it .

Yes my H to was the one who opened my heart , and showed me that love was nothing to be scared of that in giving all of me I was safe with him .

But you know what , there are things about me I need to face things that , now that the PATCH that H provided feels ripped of , that I need to fix again .

My way of thinking , my looks , my fears.

I need alot of self recovery , I need to find a me that I want to be and look like .

I don't know exactl;y how but I am trying , I am starting out side and with that thinking it will life me higher and the inside will start to walk hand and hand .

I always pray , and went back to church awhile ago , but realize I was doing and thinking at the same time when are you going to give me something here ?

Well thats the wrong attitude , I do not know what faith you are , but in most thats what it is about HAVEING FAITH , also really truely understanding being WORTHY !

After M I veiwed myself as a MOM and a W. Thats it thats who I thought I was thats me so and sos W and this ones MOM .

BUT that can't be I need my own identie , not be defined but others . I think thats part of what ARK is saying as well .(DID I GET SOME ARK ? AM I GROWIN ?)

In a way your H is right about it kind of being your issue , BUT now if the words hold true to what he says and they where powerful words , then he can be there for you in any way , like I said even if its just for you to say these things out loud and be held. No advice from him just him listening and not judgeing and NOT thinking its all about HIM .

When I tryed this with my H at first he instantly thought OH GOD its all about the A and what I DID TO YOU ,,, NO that isn't it , it is about the wake up call the A brought to ME , TO MY NEEDS , MY self esteem .

It may have opened something up that was down there all along , but either way its there now and I like you need to fix that and be at peace with it .

I truely forgave my H for the ACT of the A, I have not forgiven the LIES YET , I work on that everyday . I talk to myself about how I am not perfect (although close <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) But Anyone who is human can lie and make a mistake .

I know exactly how you feel when you sit there and say H is doing everything what the HECK could I ask to do that will change this .??

You do sit there and put all the good things down not to over look them and still come up empty .

And you will , because this is the part thats hard its SELF RECOVERY .

My H read your H post and understood why I was crying about it , HE to always finds thoughts words in cards and very much in songs to always share with me he has been that way since we meet .

Now he couldn't understand when he palys a song for me with the lights down low and sings it to me in my ear , why I cry from sadness not happiness . Because I want so much to belive again in what he says but then I say I BELIVED so much when you said it before that I feel I don't know YOU ANYMORE .

That like you scares the CRAP out of me , its like I convinced myself through this ONE mistake that he is some kind of CONARTIST and manipulates women all over the world LOL

I was so crazy at Your stage (weeeks ) that I wanted and had someone check public records to see if he was M to the 2 of us at the same time .LOL

STAY FOCUSED <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> YOUR a wonderful, beutiful, caring , giving , FORGIVING , STRONG WOMEN !

You are its already proven you are here with him fighting the fight seeking the HELP , sharing yourself openly and honestly .

SEE there are already parts of you, you can find and see right infront of you .

GOT to jet girl , I need a shower I smell all the walkin this morning 3 miles today and the TYBO to release some anger LOL

Catch ya later , oh and moral my H understood last night alittle bit by reading your post and you H e-mail to you .

If you are using Netscape or Mozilla at the top you have several menu choices, one of them being Window

Choose Window and one of the menu choices is Address Book

In netscape, there are several address books. One is the collected addresses, basically addresses from both inbound and outbound mail.

Simply choose the address you want to delete and press the delete button at the top.

This way, you can keep the addresses you want and delete those you don't.

For Micro$haft junk, you will need to check with someone else.

Unix Bigot

Stupid me I posted under your wrong , topic today LOL

TOLD YA I WAS COMPTER STUPID , just click on the name . IT was meant for your other thread!

For Outlook (sorry java I'm a unix bigot too but the world likes Outpuke <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> )

If you do not have a Folder List click View, Folder List.

Now in your Folder List click "Contacts"
Find the address you wish to delete.
Click it, click the big "X" looking button at the top or edit->delete or just your delete key.

Not sure about subjects being stored though. As far as I know Outlook doesn't store that so maybe you're on a different email client.

The feature you are talking about is called AutoComplete. If you are using Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu option and select Internet Options. Then click on the Content tab. You will see a button called AutoComplete. Click on it and you should be able to delete and modify the settings so that it will not longer prompt you when you are typing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone! shockednhurt - it worked!!! Thanks!

or a simple way:

just click one time to highlight it...(hold it down) and press delete.

It will work on email, google search, or anywhere you normally have auto-complete, but don't want to totally turn off the feature. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Losingfocus,

Try this if using Microsoft Outlook Express
1) Click on "Tools"
2) Go down to "Internet Options"
3) Go to the content tab
4) Click on "Auto Complete"
5) Click on "Clear Forms"
6) a window will pop up just click ok

I *think* that should do it.

Good luck,
