i may be incredibly naive but
i can not figure how to get autocomplete to work.

either in internet explorer or in outlook express.

is there some thing i must do in windows?

i have set all settings,
it seems,
properly,
and even
adjusted administrator in the regedt32 file.

please refer me to the appropriate section
and with specific details as i am a novice,
incidently,
the autocomplete works in others' computers,
that is if i use someone else's computer it usually remembers me in
almost every form filler i use, whether on line or not,

but mine does not.

please help!!

thanks in advance,
and i have an HP ze 4230,
windows xp home
oe6.0, and ie 6.0

I had just bought a new P4 3.06 computer, with XP-HE. The
AutoComplete wouldn't work.

I did the whole Tools > Internet Options > Content >
AutoComplete thing. All 4 boxes *were* ticked
(including 'Prompt Me'). No joy.

I was the only user account. So I set up 3 more accounts:
a guest account; a limited account; and another admin
account for me. Rebooted.

The AutoComplete worked for every account except the
original admin account. So I copied everything I needed
over to my NEW ADMIN account. Then I deleted all of the
other accounts (including their files and docs). Rebooted.

So now AutoComplete works like a charm. And I still don't
have to log on after a reboot.

I know, it's a stupid way of doing it. But you know the
old saying: If it's stupid, but it works - it's not stupid.
