This includes web form autocomplete data from Internet Explorer; passwords for password protected websites; MS Outlook account and identity passwords, dial-up passwords and other data that Microsoft decided to store there. With the unique import/export feature of Secret Explorer you can move all your personalized data (such as IE web form autocomplete data and stored passwords) from one computer to another, basically familiarizing the new system with you.
