    Post How the heck do you turn off auto complete?

    SO- it seemed like a good idea at the time.
    As I entered some text into a field in some web form, I was asked, "Would you like to turn on auto complete?" Sure, why not, less typing for me... Enable that 5h1t!!!
    Now i regret the decision and can't figure out how to turn it off. Can anyone help me?

    oh yeah winXP in this case.

    thanks you wonderful people

    To adjust AutoComplete settings

    You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also clear the history for any of these.<OL>[*]In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. </LI>[*]Click the Content tab. </LI>[*]Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.</LI>[*]Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.</LI>[/list=a]<hr></blockquote>
