Autocomplete help ?

H

Henry Kolesnik

XPH SP2 IE6 MS updated 1/12/05. Autocomplete doesn't work on Forms, eBay or
Google for example. The following has been done:
Tools>Internet Options>Content>Autocomplete>Forms checked and so are Web
addresses and Usernames...
In the Advanced sction I've checked Use inline Autocomplete...

Autocomplete used to work on all functins but now only on Web addresses.

Any tips or fixes appreciated.

On Monday I downloaded CCleaner and clean all the TIF and that solved a
problem I had with viewing web source code.
I went to the other site and it's for IE5 and Web addresses that don't
autocomplete. My Web addresses Autocomplete, no problem. My problem is
with Forms like Google and ebay which used ot Autocomplete but now don't.

Hi Henry :)

I see....try the following:

AutoComplete Does Not Save Username and Password
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q306895



Protected Storage - Save Password issues:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ProtectedStorage.htm


also....

History folder corrupted -

For W98 (W98se) proceed as follows as per Sandi's site:
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers_8.htm#deltree

1) Start>Shutdown>Re-start in MS-DOS mode
2) Wait for Mouse to be recognized, and for the system to stabilize.
3) At the prompt of C:\> type the words: "Deltree History" (Note: there is
a space between the two. Do not use any " quotation marks)
5) press enter
6) A confirmation request appears (Y/N)
7) Type: "Y" and press enter (no quotation marks)
8) Another prompt will appear (Y/N)
9) Type: "Y" and press enter.
10) Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to close out of the DOS session and to re-boot in
normal mode.

The same process may be followed for your Temporary Internet Files as well.
This will create a new Index.dat file free of corruption and sized at 32 KB.
In that case the command line to use will be "Deltree Tempor~1"

Proceed slowly and carefully, noting that each command and instruction is
followed.

IF you've been using any other method of cleaning files and stuff out of
the Content.IE5 folder other than the use of IE Options>delete files>delete
all off-line content> OK>OK out. Stop doing that. The aforementioned
process of using IE Options is the only safe and prescribed way of
cleaning. (other than the DOS Deltree command)

or..................

To create a new History Folder

Or try installing TweakUI.

The steps at the Microsoft site to do the REGEDT32 solve the IE AutoComplet
problems and now my Outlook Express remembers my password.
Thanks
