How To Turn Off Internet Explorer AutoComplete

I kinda like it but if you really must, turning autocomplete on or off is simple, and you can even choose to leave it on for web addresses, for example, and turn it off for forms. Here's how:

  1. Click Tools | Internet Options
  2. Click the Content tab
  3. Click the Autocomplete button
  4. Check or uncheck the autocomplete functions as you desire (there are three choices: web addresses, forms and user names and passwords)

Note that if you enable autocomplete for user names and passwords, you don't have to enter your credentials each time you access a password-protected web site - but if someone else uses the browser with your logged on account, they will be able to access your password protected web sites, too, so be careful about using this option.
