I've never really been a fan of Internet Explorer's Auto Complete function. Often, I'll be inputting a information and Auto Complete will kick in and fill in the field for me even if some things don't apply. Luckily with a few clicks of the mouse and strokes of the keyboard you can turn off this "feature".<BR>First load up regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit then press Ok) and follow this path. HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> AutoCopmlete.<BR><BR>From there find the Append Completion String value and change its string value to "yes." After a quick restart, IE will no think for you. =) If you decide you do like the Auto Complete function after all, simply change value back to "no." <BR>
