MSIE AutoComplete Settings
(Forms, Passwords, Web addresses)
If your having issues with Internet Explorer's Autocomplete
feature, maybe the following information might help you fix your problem.
As for registry entries, these are the keys involved where
the info is stored, but as you will see they are encrypted. AutoComplete,
User Names and Passwords on Forms:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW
AutoComplete, Web Addresses:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider\<user
name or windows logon name>
Note: Instead of a user name you may see "*Local
Machine*" depending on your system configuration.
Right click on them and choose Permissions. Check to see
if, for the user, a "Deny" box is checked.
Also check these registry entries for a "FormSuggest" entry
and delete or set the value to zero "0".
User: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Control Panel]
System: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Control Panel]
This key with a value of one will disable Autocomplete for
forms. If those don't work, create a new User account and see if that
works on the trouble machine.
As for web addresses not autocompleting, in IE go to Tools...Internet
Options...Advanced tab, Browsing section and also check "Use inline Autocomplete",
click Apply, click Okay.
Autocomplete for web addresses relies on the index.dat super-hidden
file in your History folder. From another account w/ admin. privileges,
delete the History folder from the troubled profile. More info: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
