Enabling or Disabling AutoComplete

Monday, September 21, 2009

Sometimes I need to enable or disable AutoComplete (depending on the circumstance) in my Microsoft windows xp operating system, enable or disable Internet Explorer’s capability to save passwords, and clear the AutoComplete history. To do these tasks, follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer, and from the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. On the Content tab, and in the Personal Information area, select AutoComplete.

3. To enable or disable AutoComplete, in the AutoComplete Settings dialog box, select or clear the Use AutoComplete for: Web Addresses, Forms, and User Names and Passwords on Forms check boxes.

4. To clear the AutoComplete history for forms, select the Clear Forms button.

5. To clear the AutoComplete history for passwords, select the Clear Passwords button.

6. To remove the capability of Internet Explorer to save any passwords in the future, clear the Prompt Me to Save Passwords check box.

7. Click OK to close the AutoComplete Settings dialog box, and click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
