how do you turn off auto complete?
this is the function that saves things you type in to
text bars (google searches, email addresses)
i have some searches that i have made and now when you
double click on the text spaces they all pop back up and
i dont want other people to see them

Have you tried IE-Tools-Internet Options-Content-AutoComplete?

This suggeted tip works but it only hides the autocontent
drop down from appearing. It does not delete the content.
So if I turn back the Autocomplete, the list begins to
appear again. How can this be cleared??
Thanks in advance
