Removing Autofill Login-ID's
When logging in to TapeTrack, a list of possible usernames, that have been used previously, is presented to facilitate a more efficient login procedure.
While this feature is convenient, if a username has been removed from TapeTrack, or an incorrect username or value has been entered by mistake the presented list of options can become cluttered with useless information. These values are computer specific and stored directly in the registry.
Changes made to the Windows registry happen immediately, and no backup is automatically made. Do not edit the Windows registry unless you are qualified and confident about doing so.
Microsoft have issued the following warning with respect to the Registry Editor:
“Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.”

Backup The Registry
Before making any alterations to the registry, create a backup as a safety precaution
Open regedit and create registry backup by right-clicking the top of the registry tree and selecting Export and saving to an appropriate location.
