Transfering to Vista from XP, how to transfer Auto Completes (repost)

[Erik]

Hi,

Transferred to Vista (on a new PC) from XP (old PC), but Internet Explorer
Auto Completes did not transfer.

Where do I find these settings on the old system and how to transfer to the
new installation?

Please help, thanks.

Those settings can NOT be transferred.

Reposting reply - you can't. This data does not transfer, and as Mark has
observed, the source data is encrypted and cannot be decrypted easily.
