Re: auto complete

Hi,
What's being filled in? If you've cleared forms, usernames and passwords and
unchecked forms, usernames and passwords (and restarted at least once)
Autocomplete should be off. Does autocomplete occur on all sites or just a
few sites?

Might the Google toolbar be autofilling/storing this data?

How do I turn auto complete off...don't mind it for web pages, but want to
turn it off for screen names, forms, passwords, searches and so on? I've
tried to turn it off via content tab in the internet connections/temp
internet files area. I've done this through the control panel/internet
connections as well as in the Internet Explorer (via the shortcut on the
desktop). I've also cleared the "forms" and "passwords". I've done this
while logged on and off. I've restarted MSN and restarted the computer.
I
have not actually found this "content" tab in the MSN browswer I'm logged
on
to (does it actually use the IE?).

Does anyone know why it's not being turned off? Am I missing something?
I
would appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks.
