Internet Explorer

1. Left click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel.
2. Double left click the Internet Options icon. The Internet Properties window will open.
3. Left click the Content tab.
   
4. Left click the AutoComplete button.
   
5. Now click the Clear Forms button. This will remove all form data stored except for passwords.

   If you use the Clear Passwords button you will find that you will need to enter your password in forms (such as login forms) and that Internet Explorer will no longer be able to pre-fill those items for you. Because of this it is not recommended to use this button unless you have an explicit need to do so.

If you decide that you no longer wish for Internet Explorer to use its autocomplete functionality you can stop this by unticking any of the checkboxes in this window. Should you change your mind you can turn this functionality back on by simply reticking the checkbox(es).

By default, when you click a web link in an internet aware program, and there is already an Internet Explorer window open, the web page appears in the open browser window instead of opening a new window. This tweak prevents the new link from being displayed in the existing IE window by forcing an additional IE browser instance to open.
