AutoComplete

[Guest]

If a website or webpage is listed thru AutoComplete, does that mean that site
or page had to have been visited, or is there any other way for a site to be
listed by AutoComplete?

You're welcome and *no*, the URL has to have been "typed" or
snipped and pasted in your address bar for AutoComplete to store
the URL in your Registry's 'MRU' cache. MRU cache for typed URL's.

Thank you, is there a way I can see what is stored in this MRU cache? Is
there a way to view or record any internet activity? I suspect my son is
getting around our parental blocks as AutoComplete gave me some disturbing
websites yesterday.

Type "regedit" from your Run > Dialog Box, (No Quotes) > navigate to the below;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs]

Net Nanny - there are many of its ilk.

If your machine is behaving in a peculair way, *at all*, please advise.

ovserved better.............. again, thank you, and I will respond back if
