quick question. when you go to a web page that has a form (or even open up search in windows for that matter) and start typing it automatically shows a drop down of all the previously entered data for that box. i wsa wondering how to clear that (or even disable it). thanks,
Etrik

hehe i can understand your paranoia.. I was fixing a laptop for a friend of mine, it was his fathers, anyway... the thing was, i went to google and was going to search for something, when this came up;


Gay man, searches gay men. and so on... .. my friend had no idea :P ....


but back to your question... autocomplete should work, go back and try it again

You can also move your cursor over the item you want to remove (so that it is highlighted) and hit delete.

Internet options
Delete cookies
delete files
clear history.

You also want to set your temp internet files to ONLY 80 MB's no need for more. And you history you can set it "days to keep pages in history" set it to ONE day.

that wont clear your autocomplete issue but it will erase your traces. I dont recommend this if you are on a dial-up connection. If you are on dial-up this is where your pages are stored if you clear it you will have to re-download each and ever page you open.

yeah, had this problem answered for someone the other day in another forum...

un-ticking the autocomplete stops the collection of new autocomplete data, but a cache still will exist of older entries (the prob u have now)... so..

Tools / Internet Options / Content / Autocomplete

then untick all the checkboxes and press both push buttons to purge your current cache of information... should fix it all up...

You can also download "Tweak UI".

You can set it to paranoia mode and will remove such things after reboots.

Has some other things you may like as well...
