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>
LOL, if it was a snake it would have bit me!
Thanks Rellik for the heads up.
I just read about a program called AutoWhat? 2 This should delete any info that may have been entered plus lets you edit it and more.
