Prevent Internet Explorer from automatically completing words
Microsoft Internet Explorer automatically completes words that you type into the address bar, forms, password boxes, and other boxes based on information you have previously typed in those boxes.
If you are using a shared computer and you don't want other people to have access to this information, you can prevent Internet Explorer from doing this.
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
On the Content tab, click AutoComplete.
Do one or more of the following:
Under Use AutoComplete for, clear the check box next to each item that you do not want Internet Explorer to complete for you.
To clear your Internet Explorer history of any entries you have previously typed into web forms, click Clear Forms.
To clear your Internet Explorer history of any passwords or user names you have previously typed into web pages, click Clear Passwords.
You can also prevent Internet Explorer from displaying a list of sites you've visited when you click the History icon in the Internet Explorer toolbar.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, under History, click Clear History.
