A smart card enabled mobile personal computing environment system stores a user's personalized, fully functional, computing environment in a smart card. The user to specifies information required to configure the client to the user's preferred personal computing environment. The user's personal computing environment data is also used for interfacing with the user's Web browser. As the user browses the Web, the Web pages are analyzed to determine if the Web page is a logon or registration form. If the form is a registration form, the system fills in the form using the user's information from the user's personal computing environment data. If the form is a logon form, the system either captures the user's user name and password if the system has not recorded them, or inserts the user name and password in the form if the information for the Web page is in the user's personal computing environment data.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: reading a user's personal computing environment data from a transportable memory device in communication with a client device; monitoring Mozilla-based Web browser activity; wherein the browser monitoring step determines if a Web page that the user visits is a form and determines a format of the form; and analyzing fields in the form and automatically filling in fields in the form using the user's personal computing environment data. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the browser monitoring step uses a dynamically linked library (dll) interface to the Mozilla-based browser to communicate with the browser. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein if the form is a registration form, then the automatic filling step fills in fields in the form using the user's information from the user's personal computing environment data. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling step captures the user's user name and password if the user's user name and password for the Web page are not in the user's personal computing environment data. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling step inserts the user's user name and password in fields in the form if the user's user name and password for the Web page is in the user's personal computing environment data. 6. An apparatus, comprising: a module for reading a user's personal computing environment data from a transportable memory device in communication with a client device; a browser monitoring module on the client for monitoring Mozilla-based Web browser activity; wherein the browser monitoring module determines if a Web page that the user visits is a form and determines a format of the form; and a module for analyzing fields in the form and automatically filling in fields in the form using the user's personal computing environment data. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the browser monitoring module uses a dynamically linked library (dll) interface to the Mozilla-based browser to communicate with the browser. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein if the form is a registration form, then the automatic filling module fills in fields in the form using the user's information from the user's personal computing environment data. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling module captures the user's user name and password if the user's user name and password for the Web page are not in the user's personal computing environment data. 10. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling module inserts the user's user name and password in fields in the form if the user's user name and password for the Web page is in the user's personal computing environment data. 11. A method, comprising: reading a user's personal computing environment data from a transportable memory device in communication with a client device; monitoring the user's Web browser for Web pages visited by a user on the client device; wherein the monitoring step determines if a Web page is a form and determines a format of the form; and automatically filling in fields in the form using the user's personal computing environment data. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein if the form is a registration form, then the automatic filling step fills in fields in the form using the user's information from the user's personal computing environment data. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling step captures the user's user name and password if the user's user name and password for the Web page are not in the user's personal computing environment data. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling step inserts the user's user name and password in fields in the form if the user's user name and password for the Web page is in the user's personal computing environment data. 15. An apparatus, comprising: a module for reading a user's personal computing environment data from a transportable memory device in communication with a client device; a module for monitoring the user's Web browser for Web pages visited by a user on the client device; wherein the monitoring means determines if a Web page is a form and determines the format of the form; and a module for automatically filling in fields in the form using the user's personal computing environment data. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein if the form is a registration form, then the automatic filling module fills in fields in the form using the user's information from the user's personal computing environment data. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling module captures the user's user name and password if the user's user name and password for the Web page are not in the user's personal computing environment data. 18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein if the form is a logon form, then the automatic filling module inserts the user's user name and password in fields in the form if the user's user name and password for the Web page is in the user's personal computing environment data.
