stopping autocomplete in address bar with favorites and files

[Eric and Megan Swope]

Hi. I want to be able to stop my address bar from automatically suggesting
favorites from my favorites list, as well as other parts to the computer.
For example, if I have the Philadelphia Eagles website bookmarked, and I
start typing with the letter p in the address bar, it will automatically
fill in philadelphiaeagles.com. If I type in c, the autocomplete suggests
my c:\, control panel, etc. I want to stop this behavior, but like using
autocomplete for other web sites. I have cleared all cookies, temp files,
deleted many .dat files. Is there anything else I can do so this stops
without having to turn off autocomplete?
