Autocomplete Settings

Auto fill-in is a feature in Internet Explorer that will automatically store all information you enter in the web address bar, forms and user names and passwords. This feature can save you time when filling out web forms and help you remember passwords. But it can also be a security risk if multiple people use the same computer. Auto-complete can be turned off or adjusted to save only certain types of information through Internet Explorer's options.
