Disable auto complete for forms in “Content” tab in Internet Explorer.

This setting allows you to disable auto complete for forms in the “Content” tab of Internet Options dialog in Internet Explorer.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

Internet Explorer uses the option "AutoComplete" to remember the typed text in a web form or a URL. On the web forms, Internet Explorer can call previously typed inputs of a field. It can suggest from the previous entries existing in the list, if any.

By applying this registry setting you can disable the option of auto-completion on forms.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the sub keys “Internet Explorer\Control Panel” is not present, create it as explained below. Then, create a DWORD value “FormSuggest”, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which can disable the option of auto-completion on forms. However, if you want to enable the option back, change the value data to “0” or delete the value.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
