    Unhappy Autocomplete nagbox removal

    Does anyone know how to stop the annoying nagbox appearing asking do I want to use autocomplete?,

    its the one that has a series of numbers on the left and a discription of how it works,it really bugs me comes up about three or four times a day each time I click no it dissapears for a few hours then asks me again

    I realise I could use autocomplete and this would stop it but I don't want to use it

    welcome to dal the online computer help forum

    Turning off AutoComplete completely

    If you don't like seeing your user names, passwords, and other information sitting in drop-down windows, tell Windows to stop by doing this:

    Open Internet Explorer.
    Choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
    Click the Content tab.
    Click the AutoComplete button.
    Click to remove checkmarks from these items:
    Web addresses
    Forms
    User names and passwords on forms
    Prompt me to save passwords
    Click the Clear Forms button.
    Click the Clear Passwords button.
    Click OK


    if you need further help please come back to me


    hope this helps

    I don't know how to get save a screenshot,the link is not the same problem that I have the box reads

    AUTOCOMPLETE REMEMBERS ENTRIES IN WEBFORMS
    LIKE THE ONE YOU JUST TYPED IN,IN THE FUTURE
    IT CAN CHECK YOUR PREVIOUS ENTRIES AND LIST
    SUGGESTIONS AS YOU TYPE
    WOULD YOU LIKE AUTOCOMPLETE ON

    YES NO MORE INFO


    I find it really annoying nobody seems to have heard of it before I have been trying for months to find out how to get rid of it,some mentioned about altering the registry and told me how to do it but the values where alresdy set at off so I didn't alter anything

    i just found this it sounds similar to my previous advice but it is not quite the sam could you please just try it and see if it makes any difference

    When you go to a site on the internet and enter your user ID and password, a little box will pop up asking you if you want to continue to remembering passwords. If you answer no to this prompt you will not see this message again and Internet Explorer will not remember your password information.

    If you answered no to this prompt before and decide you want Internet Explorer to start remembering your password information, you can turn this prompt on or off again.

    Click on Tools at the top of internet explorer

    Click on Internet Options

    Click on the Content Tab

    Under Personal Information Click on the AutoComplete Tab.

    Click on the small box to the left of "Prompt me to save passwords" to enter or remove the check mark.

    Click on Ok.
