IE 9: How to Clear or Delete AutoComplete History

AutoComplete is a feature offered by many browsers to keep track of information that you have recently typed, such as website address, and form information (like login forms). Its purpose is to try and anticipate what you are typing so that it can provide you with possible matches and thus save you time.

If you share a computer, you don’t want your typed information to be popping up for others to see. By deleting the autocomplete history, all of that information will be removed.

How to Enable and Disable AutoComplete in Internet Explorer

AutoComplete is a feature, which enables Internet Explorer to automatically fill in a web address or a username/password combination in a form when it recognizes such information based on your typing of a partial entry. It can save your typing, especially if you frequently visit the same site or reenter the same information in forms. However, it could also cause some safe problem, if someone else uses your PC. The feature can be enabled / disabled by modifying a preference in Internet Explorer.

Steps to Follow

• Launch your Internet Explorer.

• Go to "Tools" -> "Internet Options".
