"Hi! I'm Gary for Expert Village. Now I am going to show you how to enable or disable the website auto complete feature. So we see that for example when we go to this web page and we start typing in Expert Village. What happens is that it identifies that I've been to Expert Village and it gives me the option to select it from where it thinks where I want to go. You may want to shut this feature off. In order to do that, what we would do is go to tools and then go to Internet options and click on the content tab. Inside the content tab, you will see another button that says auto complete and you will see a button that says settings. In the settings, we have different options. We can shut the auto complete off for web pages or just for passwords and filling out forms information when you have to fill out your name and address. So these are things that we can manipulate. We can shut them on and off accordingly and when we shut them off we will see that now when I go to the website of Expert Village, I have to type in the full now. Now it doesn't give me any options of previous entries that I might have put in. I have to type out the full name because it has erased the option to look into my history."
