How To Disable Autofill In IE

Internet Explorer contains an autofill feature known as AutoComplete. AutoComplete remembers things you type in Internet Explorer, including passwords on websites, website addresses and other things you type in forms on Web pages, such as search queries. Internet Explorer will automatically fill frequently used information such as your name, phone number and address. If you don't want to use this feature, you can disable entirely in Internet Explorer's option dialog.

Instructions

1. Click the "Tools" button on the Internet Explorer toolbar and click "Internet Options."

2. Click the "Content" tab at the top of the Internet Options window.

3. Click the "Settings" button under AutoComplete.

4. Uncheck the "Address Bar," "Forms" and "User Names and Passwords on Forms" check boxes, if they're checked.

5. Click "OK."

Tips & Warnings

• To clear your AutoComplete history, click the "Delete AutoComplete History' button at the bottom of the AutoComplete Settings window.
