For the past 2 weeks or so I have been using a borrowed laptop while mine was being repaired. Can anyone tell me how to remove Rootschat from this PC before giving it back.
This is an HP laptop with windows 7.
I have the same problem with several other sites I have been using including my e-mail.
Help please.

Giving it back to Whom?
-
What Browser?

Hi
If it's Firefox
Go to Tool -> options -> privacy and security -. saved logins
Select all the sites that list your login names and passwords and delete them
other browsers have similar procedures.

Have you tried going Tools>Options and deleting all Cookies ??

If the OP does that, they might delete cookies that the owner of the laptop needs. I think it's safest to go down the specifically selected saved passwords route.

Knew that Rootschatters would be able to help. Thank you both for the advice. The HP laptop is a spare one belonging to a friend but I want to hand it back the way I got it.
:D :D :D

Did it ask you if you wanted to save Passwords or not?
If it didn't... then they aren't saved!! You would need to say Yes if it asked, for them to be saved!
Otherwise just leave Cookies etc alone!

Thought it might have been one from a shop! ;D
Yes...if the poster does that, saved Passwords etc would be lost!

Not any use to you at this stage but if you are in this position again, on Firefox and I'd expect other browsers have similar you can down load Multifox which lets you use a Private profile which doesn't save passwords.
I use it on my brothers computer a good bit but you have to sign into the likes of RootsChat each time.
-
On Firefox you can just go File>New Private Window

If you are using Microsoft's Edge or IE, then press the Windows button on the keyboard and type
Credential Manager
The remembered passwords can be cleared up under Web Credentials.
It shows the name of the site and the username used, and you can see the actual password if you click a couple more times.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions. I have finally got around to deleting all the passwords except for one. ! Yes it's Rootschat :o :o So maybe my laptop lending friend can be persuaded to start his family tree...

If you log out of Rootschat before you hand the laptop back, he wouldn't be able to log in any way would he? As long as you haven't set it to remember your details!
