I want to backup my Autocomplete Passwords, Web Addresses and Forms. Can
anyone tell me the registry location for these items. Thank you.
 
AutoComplete, User Names and Passwords on Forms:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW

AutoComplete, Web Addresses:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System
Provider\<user name or windows logon name>

Note that the user names & passwords are store at HKCU & thus you'd need to save for each user account (having logged in at each).
You should be able to Export & save those keys. But I do not have direct knowledge if an Import (later on) would go ok. It should.

Why not just do them all through HKEY_USERS? Easier that way, and you
don't have to know login passwords. You don't even have to hunt down
user names, just do them all if this is for backup and not transport,
but it's not *that* hard to find usernames for the SIDs: just start from
HKEY_USERS and hunt up "Shell Folders" as a key name (only key name, to
save a bit of time).

I won't be surprised if there's an answer to my question above: it
wasn't rhetorical.

Thanks Maurice for the excellent information. What about autocomplete forms?
You left that out. Yes, imports do work. I've done it in the past. I
accidentally deleted my previous backups and the registry locations they came
from. That's why I had to ask.
